If you want to get up high, then use your own legs! Do not let yourselves be carried up, do not set yourselves on foreign backs and heads! But you are mounted on horseback? You are riding swiftly up to your goal? All right, my friend! but your lame foot is also on horseback with you! When you are at your goal, when you leap from your horse: on your very height, you higher man, — you will stumble!
