Look to the past and remember no empire rises that sooner or later won’t fall.
Meaning of the quote
Every great empire that has ever existed, no matter how powerful it may have been, eventually came to an end. History has shown us that no matter how strong or successful an empire becomes, it will eventually decline and fall. This is an important lesson to learn from the past - no matter how mighty a country or civilization may seem, it cannot last forever. Even the most powerful empires throughout history, like the Roman Empire or the British Empire, eventually collapsed and disappeared. This is a reminder that nothing lasts forever, and that all great things must come to an end.
