Examples
“Rēgum nōbīs induimus animōs. Nam illī quoque oblītī et suārum vīrium et imbēcillitātis aliēnae sīc excandēscunt, sīc saeviunt, quasi iniūriam accēperint — ā cuius reī perīculō illōs fortūnae suae magnitūdō tūtissimōs praestat.”
We put on the mindset of kings. For they too, forgetting both their own power and the weakness of others, in this way burn with rage and act so savagely as if they had received an injustice — from the danger of which the greatness of their own fortune protects them completely.
