"HENCEFORTH LET THEM LEARN, THAT ALL COLONIES, SO LONG AS THEY RECEIVE
NO WRONG FROM THEIR MOTHER CITY, SO LONG THEY HONOUR HER; BUT WHEN
THEY SUFFER INJURY FROM HER, THEY THEN BECOME ALIENATE; FOR THEY ARE NOT
SENT OUT TO BE THE SLAVES OF THEM THAT STAY, BUT TO BE THEIR EQUALS."
Hobbes's Thucydides, Book I.
