As in their own Monarch all subjects have an enemy
so have they in every other.

Monarchs it may be said are apt to go to war
with each other: and when with any two Monarchs this happens to
case, the subjects of each should in that Monarch who is
the enemy of their Monarch, that is of their natural enemy have a
friend. But in practice this is not the case. For war whi
one Monarch carries on with another Monarch is a war
of rivalry but it is not a war of enmity: each every Monarch
is to every other Monarch an object of respect: and where their
is respect on both sides, no rooted no decided enmity can be
said to have place on either side. Between Monarch and Monarch war is
upon the largest such that which between professed and professed it is in on the scale
said to have place on either side.⊞ ⊞ Many a Monarch has given up to a brother Monarch, and that freely too, dominion
which he might have kept if he had pleased. No Monarch ever gave up freely t his own subjects
an atom of power which in his eyes would be reserved with .⊞
By one another they are stiled brothers, and in that on occasion they are sincere. They have a common interest: and that interest is paramount to every other interest. War is a game: a game
of chess of backgammon. Between two players at the game of war there is no
more enmity than between two players at backgammon.
On the part breasts of the players at war there is no more feeling for
the men of flesh and blood of war, than at during the game at backgammon there is on the
part of the men of word there is for one another or themselves.
All Monarchs are While to one another all Monarchs are objects of sympathy: to all Monarchs all
To all Monarchs all subjects are objects of a mixture of subjects are objects of antipathy
of a sort of composed sentiment, composed of fear, and
hatred and contempt: On the part of all Monarchs there exists
something like that which women and children are apt to feel for a toad. In the In
the breasts of all character there accordingly exists at all times a natural alliance, defensive and offensive
against all subjects.

As between injurer and injured, the man on whose
part antipathy toward the other can soonest is most apt to is
he who has been injured by whom the injury has been sustained: the one on whose part it can
with greatest difficulty if it ever at all is he by who the
injury has been inflicted.

Betwixt every Monarch and every other there exists a powerful
cause of sympathy: in no instance ever could, or ever can, that sense
have failed to be more or less productive of effect. In the instance of all of them On the same principle
on one and the same principle set of principles is grounded that obedience of to by
which their power is constituted, and in proportion to which it has place
disposition the effect of habit: habit the effect of fear, fear, corruption, delusion:
not sinister interest, interest-begotten, and authority-begotten prejudice.
By every other he sees shaking, of the to he feels the communicated to his own.
