Quote by Helen Keller

There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.

There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors

Summary

This quote highlights the universal nature of human history and the interconnectedness of different social classes. It suggests that every king, regardless of their power and nobility, ultimately originates from a lineage that includes slaves in their ancestry. Similarly, it acknowledges that every slave has ancestors who were once kings, emphasizing the ebb and flow of fortunes and social positions over time. In essence, the quote underlines the intrinsic equality of all human beings, as well as the transitory nature of social hierarchies over generations.
