About this Quote

This quote by Cicero is a pointer that no matter how successful or effective we become, we need to always remain humble. It is simple to become big-headed and prideful when we remain in a position of power, but Cicero is advising us that we ought to always remain modest and grounded. He is suggesting that the higher we are positioned, the more we must strive to be simple and not let our success go to our heads. We must bear in mind that our success is not due to our own efforts alone, but to the aid of others and the grace of God. We must be glad for our success and use it to help others. We must not let our success make us forget our roots and individuals who assisted us get to where we are. We need to stay simple and use our success to make the world a much better place.
