...there is nothing proportionate between the armed and the unarmed;
and it is not reasonable that he who is armed should yield obedience
willingly to him who is unarmed, or that the unarmed man should be
secure among armed servants. Because, there being in the one disdain
and in the other suspicion, it is not possible for them to work well together.
