Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of the divine right of kings is not exclusive to royalty but is applicable to anyone who attains a position of power. It implies that divine authority is not limited to those born into a royal lineage, but rather extends to anyone who can assert control and seize dominance over others. This interpretation challenges the traditional notion that only monarchs are chosen by a higher power and highlights the potential for anyone in a position of authority to claim a divine right, regardless of their initial standing in society.
