The latter is the serf's fealty to his lord. The former is consistent with respect, but the latter is a sign of debasement.

The latter is a source of positive danger to it.” — B R Ambedkar

“Existentialism is about being a saint without God; being your own hero, without all the sanction and support of religion or society.” — Anita Brookner
