The man who listens to Reason is lost: Reason enslaves all whose minds are not strong enough to master her

The slave of fear: the worst of slaveries

Man gives every reason for his conduct save one, every excuse for his crimes save one, every plea for his safety save one; and that one is his cowardice

One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven't and don't.

Every Roman was surrounded by slaves. The slave and his psychology flooded ancient Italy, and every Roman became inwardly, and of course unwittingly, a slave. Because living constantly in the atmosphere of slaves, he became infected through the unconscious with their psychology. No one can shield himself from such an influence.

Каждый римлянин был окружен рабами. Раб и его психология наводнили древнюю Италию, и каждый римлянин внутренне — и, разумеется, непреднамеренно — становился рабом. Ибо он, постоянно живший в атмосфере рабов, заражался через бессознательное их психологией. Никто не в силах защитить себя от такого влияния.
