You will find in the end that you require men to do what we do. You may call it healing, if you wish. That has been done often. Or ritual, that has been done too. But you will find the thing itself grows more terrible in its disguise. Will you imprison those undeserving of death? You will find them a mighty army in chains. You will discover that you hold prisoners whose escape would be a catastrophe, and that you need servants who will wreak justice on those who have caused scores to die in agony. Who else will do that? (…) You say our mercy extends from sun to Sun, and we hope it is so. By our mercy we will grant even the foulest a quick death. Not because we pity them, but because it is intolerable that good men should spend a lifetime dispensing pain. (…) It must be done by good men. You are badly advised, Autarch! What is intolerable is that it should be done by bad men.
It is better to be just than to be kind, but only good judges can be just; let those who cannot be just be kind.
Who, then, shall be heard—is it those who cry loudest? No, for all cry loudly.
