Quote by Orson Scott Card

A weak King must be what other Kings have been; a strong King is himself, and from then on the meaning of the name of King is changed.

A weak King must be what other Kings have been; a strong Kin

Summary

This quote suggests that a weak king must conform to the expectations and actions of previous kings, while a strong king asserts their own identity and reshapes the definition of kingship. It implies that a weak king lacks the strength to make independent decisions, relying instead on the precedent set by others. On the other hand, a strong king is characterized by their unique qualities and can redefine what it means to be a king. It highlights the contrast between passive conformity and assertive leadership in the context of monarchy.
