The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader.
He that fights and runs away, May turn and fight another day; But he that is in battle slain, Will never rise to fight again.
