One is always a good master when one isn’t the master

Alfred De Vigny
About This Quote

The master is the person who is ruling over others. The master has power over others. If the master is not the master anymore, then he or she couldn’t be the master anymore. The master is the most important of all people in his or her life, but it also depends on how he or she treats other people.
