Quote by Proverb

Unless a serpent devour a serpent it will not become a dragon. Unless one power absorb another, it will not become great.

Unless a serpent devour a serpent it will not become a drago

Summary

This quote suggests that in order to truly become powerful or great, one must overcome and absorb other forces or powers. The analogy of a serpent devouring another emphasizes the need for one entity to dominate and absorb another to reach a higher level of strength. The underlying idea is that mere existence alone does not guarantee greatness, but rather the ability to conquer and assimilate other powers is what transforms one into something extraordinary, symbolized here as a dragon, a creature often associated with strength and power.
