 <blockquote>I do not wish to involve myself in too large a question, and to discuss the treatment of slaves, towards whom we Romans are excessively haughty, cruel, and insulting.  But this is the kernel of my advice:  Treat your inferiors as you would be treated by your betters. And as often as you reflect how much power you have over a slave, remember that your master has just as much power over you. "But I have no master," you say.  You are still young; perhaps you will have one.  Do you not know at what age Hecuba entered captivity, or Croesus, or the mother of Darius, or Plato, or **Diogenes**?
