	The Political Writings of Jean Jacques Rousseau (1915) - Vol. 1 - Chapter 4: The Online Library of Liberty
		Pour que les choses devinssent égales à cet égard, il faudrait que les talents, la force, et toutes les facultés du père augmentassent en raison de la grandeur de la famille, et que l'âme d'un puissant monarque fût à celle d'un homme ordinaire, comme l'étendue de son empire est à l'héritage d'un particulier.
		Il est vrai que, les sociétés particulières étant toujours subordonnées à celles qui les contiennent, on doit obéir à celle-ci préférablement aux autres; que les devoirs du citoyen vont avant ceux du sénateur, et ceux de l'homme avant ceux du citoyen.
		Le produit des tailles passe des mains du prince ou du financier dans celles des artistes et des marchands; et le cultivateur, qui n'en reçoit jamais que la moindre partie, s'épuise enfin en payant toujours également et en recevant toujours moins.

		Telles sont celles du bien public, du bonheur des sujets, de la gloire de la nation : mots à jamais proscrits du cabinet, et si lourdement employés dans les édits publics, qu'ils n'annoncent jamais que des ordres funestes, et que le peuple gémit d'avance quand ses maîtres lui parlent de leurs soins paternels.
		progrès du despotisme, s'entr'aident mutuellement; qu'on prend à discrétion, dans un peuple d'esclaves, de l'argent et des hommes pour en subjuguer d'autres; que réciproquement la guerre fournit un prétexte aux exactions pécuniaires, et un autre non moins spécieux d'avoir toujours de grandes armées pour tenir le peuple en respect.
		Il en est de la gloire des princes comme des trésors de cet insensé, propriétaire en idée de tous les vaisseaux qui arrivaient au port: l'opinion de jouir de tout l'empêchait de rien désirer; et il n'était pas moins heureux des richesses qu'il n'avait point, que s'il les eût possédées.
