"We are born princes and the civilizing process makes us frogs"

This quote by Publilius Syrus talks with the suggestion that we are all born with prospective as well as achievement, but as we expand as well as experience life, we come to be increasingly more stalled by the assumptions as well as standards of society. We are born with a sense of innocence and purity, but as we grow, we are shown to comply with the assumptions of others. We are shown to be polite, to comply with regulations, as well as to fit in. We are taught to be humble and to not attract attention excessive. This quote suggests that this procedure of complying with social standards and also assumptions is what transforms us from princes right into frogs. We are birthed with the possible to be great, however the civilizing procedure can make us neglect our real possibility and instead focus on suitable in.
