In the multitude of people is the king’s glory; But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

A large population is a king’s splendor, but a lack of subjects is a prince’s ruin.

In the multitude of a people is the honour of a king, And in lack of people the ruin of a prince.

In the multitude of people is the king's glory; but in the lack of people is the ruin of a prince.
