Daily Dose

From The Forty Five, by Alexandre Dumas

HUMILITY

"Henri III, together with his mother. alone remained standing, and bent a last look, full of pride, upon those around him. Chicot observed this look, and murmured in a low tone of voice, 'Dejiciet potentes de sede et exaltabit humiles' ('He will put down the mighty from their seat, and will exalt the humble')."

The last line of the novel.
