But the kings of modern times, restrained by the limits of mere probability, have neither courage nor desire. They fear the eat that hears their orders, and the eye that scrutinizes their actions.
The kings of contemporary society are often constrained by the harsh realities of probability, which diminishes their ambition and bravery. Unlike the rulers of the past, these modern leaders are acutely aware of the limitations placed upon them, leading them to act with caution and reserve.
