Barbarians are urged by the love of war; the citizens of a free republic may be prompted by a principle of duty; the subjects, or at least the nobles, of a monarchy, are animated by a sentiment of honor; but the timid and luxurious inhabitants of a declining empire must be allured into the service by the hopes of profit, or compelled by the dread of punishment.” MayDifferentWarStatesPrinciplesSubjectsMilitaryDutyCitizensHonorArmyProfitVariousPunishmentMotiveEmpiresSentimentsRepublicDreadCompelledMonarchyAnimatedBarbariansLuxurious Book:EDWARD GIBBON Premium Collection: Historiographical Works, Memoirs & Letters: Including Source: EDWARD GIBBON Premium Collection: Historiographical Works, Memoirs & Letters: Including
