Vis consilii expers mole ruit sua.
— Horace, Book III, Poem 4, Line 65
Wolfgang in German: Kraft ohne (= expers /nicht teilhabend an etwas) Einsicht (Überlegung, besonnene Klugheit) stürzt durch ihre eigene Schwere (Masse, Größe …).
Norbert in English: Power without introspection is crushed by its own weight.
Today, more than ever before in my lifetime, are we faced with immense power controlled by complete dilettantes and narcissists. Watch and learn: vis consilii expers mole ruit sua!
