My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.

My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.

Summary

This quote implies that true happiness and fulfillment, represented by the metaphorical crown, is often rare among those in positions of power and authority. It suggests that material wealth and status alone do not guarantee contentment, and that the pursuit of power can often leave individuals feeling empty and unsatisfied. Instead, the quote encourages us to focus on inner peace, contentment, and gratitude, as these are the qualities that truly make one feel like a king.

It is amazing how soon one becomes accustomed to the sound of ones voice, when forced to repeat a speech five or six times a day. As election day approaches, the size of the crowds grows; they are more responsive and more interested; and one derives a certain exhilaration from that which, only a few weeks before, was intensely painful. This is one possible explanation of unlimited debate in the Senate.
