尼可罗·马基雅维利：君主论·摘录 39
尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 领导 · 历史 · 成长 · 行动
And if it be urged that whoever is armed will act in the same way, whether mercenary or not, I reply that when arms have to be resorted to, either by a prince or a republic, then the prince ought to go in person and perform the duty of a captain; the republic has to send its citizens, and when one is sent who does not turn out satisfactorily, it ought to recall him, and when one is worthy, to hold him by the laws so that he does not leave the command. And experience has shown princes and republics, single-handed, making the greatest progress, and mercenaries doing nothing except damage; and it is more difficult to bring a republic, armed with its own arms, under the sway of one of its citizens than it is to bring one armed with foreign arms. Rome and Sparta stood for many ages armed and free. The Switzers are completely armed and quite free.

白话
有人说，无论雇佣军还是自己的军队，武装起来都会同样行事。马基雅维利反驳：君主应亲自挂帅，共和国应派公民出征，不称职就召回，称职就用法律约束。经验表明，自己武装的君主和共和国进步最大，雇佣军只带来损害。共和国用自己军队比用外国军队更难被个人控制。罗马、斯巴达长期自由，瑞士人全副武装且自由。
上下文
《君主论》论证用自己军队的必要性，对比雇佣军和公民武装。
