"即便坐在世界上最崇高的王座上，我们也只是坐在自己的屁股上。"
— Michel de Montaigne

Simplified Meaning:
No matter how important or powerful we might become, we are still just human beings like everyone else. For example, if someone becomes the president of a country, they might have a lot of authority and respect. But at the end of the day, they still have the same everyday needs and flaws as everyone else. They still feel sad, happy, tired, and hungry, just like anyone. This reminds us that high status doesn't change our basic human nature. We should stay humble and remember that power or prestige doesn't make us better than others. It's a good idea to keep this in mind so we don't become arrogant or lose touch with reality.
