“You are as much of a slave to your slave, as he is to you”

“He who believes is ignorant. He who knows is knowledgeable. And he who asks is the smartest”

“When you have too much of something, the only content you can get from it is by giving”

Don’t hope for things to be alright, know it, and you can progress infinitely

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.
