Nothing is Less humant, I hristian, than the extravagant praise Lavished on the conqi L72 COUBT OF THE EMPBE88 JOSEPHINE ors of the earth. Laymen and priests are equally bo blame, for the flatterers of conquerors bear perhaps a heavier responsibility than the conquerors themselves. In the ancient triumphs, at Leas! there was a slave charged with reminding the hero thai he was bu1 a man: in modern times, there is aothing of the sort; the hero can imagine himself more than mortal. Why does not th...e clergy, instead of intoning a Te Deum, take the pari of that slave'/ Is it well to forget that those nations who are most modest in success are bravest and mosl resigned in misfortune? Those whose lira. Is are turned by prosperity cannot endure reverses. For society, as for individuals, nothing is more baneful than outbursts of joy and pride. The vaster a monarch's power, the greater his need to meditate on the fickleness of fate; but the lessons of wisdom are never recalled till they are useless; they are whispered into his ears only when they can but add a sting to defeat.
