"I love the people,
But do not like to stage me to their eyes:
Through it do well, I do not relish well
Their loud applause and Aves vehement;
Nor do I think the man of safe discretion
That does affect it.
Measure for Measure, Act I, Scene I, the Duke’s exit speech as he leaves “absolute power” to Angelo
This reflects my view that anyone who wants public office is unfit for it.
