للملك من الأشخاص بقدر ما في مملكته من مأموري الحيّ الصغار، وإلا لما أُطيع. لكنني لم أقل قط إنّ الملك وكلّ واحدٍ من أشخاصه جوهرٌ واحد.

“There be as many persons of a king, as there be petty constables in his kingdom. And so there are, or else he cannot be obeyed. But I never said that a king, and every one of his persons, are the same substance.”Thomas Hobbes — Leviathan, Parts I and II - Revised Edition (2010)
