Today the true duty of a powerful king is to establish a
universal peace; for verily it signifies the freedom of all the people of the
world. Some persons who are ignorant of the world of true humanity and its high
ambitions for the general good, reckon such a glorious condition of life to be
very difficult, nay rather impossible to compass. But it is not so, far from
it.
