[140]
All this, I expect, is alarming for the
rest of you as individuals, depending each upon his own resources; and that is
why you band yourselves together, so that when you find yourselves individually
inferior to others, whether in wealth or in friends or in any other respect, you
may together prove stronger than any one of your enemies and so check his
insolence.
