XL. Homo quomodo malum superai.
XL. Homo quomodo malum superai.
A person does not have control over evil unless they refuse to do it; but when they commit evil, they become its servant.
Read the original Latin
Homo aulem malo non dominatur, nisi quando illud facere recusat; cum vero malum fecerit, servus ejus est.
