He who trusts secrets to a servant makes him his master.

Summary

This quote implies that when someone entrusts their secrets or confidential matters to a servant, they unintentionally give that servant power and control over them. By revealing personal secrets or confidential information to someone of lower social status or authority, the servant could exploit or manipulate their employer. This highlights the potential danger of trusting the wrong person with sensitive information, as it could lead to unwanted repercussions or loss of control.
