Quote by Horace

He will always be a slave who does not know how to live upon a little.

He will always be a slave who does not know how to live upon

Summary

This quote suggests that true independence and freedom come from being able to live contentedly and sustainably with minimal resources or possessions. It implies that someone who constantly requires and desires more is actually enslaved to their desires and the need for excessive material comforts. On the other hand, someone who knows how to find fulfillment and satisfaction with modest means is truly free and self-sufficient, unaffected by societal pressures or the pursuit of wealth and luxury.
