Quote by Thomas La Mance

The man who has no inner life is the slave of his surroundings.

The man who has no inner life is the slave of his surroundin

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who do not have a rich inner life or actively engage in self-reflection are easily influenced and controlled by their external environment. Without a deep understanding of oneself, one may adopt the opinions, values, and behaviors of those around them without question. By having an inner life characterized by introspection, self-awareness, and personal growth, one can maintain a sense of individuality and autonomy, free from the sway of external pressures.
