The empire we have over them is real tyranny, which they only suffer us to assume, because they have more good nature than we, and in consequence more humanity and reason. These advantages, which ought to have given them the superiority, had we acted reasonably, have made them lose it, because we have not the same advantages.
Beraiengan dugun agintea benetako tirania da; eta hartzen utzi digute gu baino anitz eztiago direlako, eta beraz, gizatasun eta buru azkarragoak dituztelako.
