  • “Spesso … accade che la nobiltà dei natali provochi in alcuni volgarità di animo, infatti chi pensa di essere qualcosa più degli altri, molto difficilmente riesce ad umiliare se stesso in questo mondo (pg. 65 - It often happens that nobility in one's birth provokes vulgarity in the soul; in fact whoever thinks himself to be better than others will find great difficulty in living simply and humbly in this world).”
    Gregory the Great
