Summary

This quote emphasizes that leadership should be seen as a chance to serve others rather than a means to boost one's own ego. True leaders understand that their role is not about showcasing their importance or exerting control, but about actively serving their team or community. It represents a humble perspective, emphasizing the importance of putting others' needs ahead of personal ambitions.

As for myself, may the sweet Muses, as Virgil says, bear me

As for myself, may the sweet Muses, as Virgil says, bear me away to their holy places where sacred streams do flow, beyond the reach of anxiety and care, and free from the obligation of performing each day some task that goes against the grain. May I no longer have anything to do with the mad racket and the hazards of the forum, or tremble as I try a fall with white-faced Fame. I do not want to be roused from sleep by the clatter of morning callers or by some breathless messenger from the palace; I do not care, in drawing my will, to give a money-pledge for its safe execution through anxiety as to what is to happen afterwards; I wish for no larger estate than I can leave to the heir of my own free choice. Some day or other the last hour will strike also for me, and my prayer is that my effigy may be set up beside my grave, not grim and scowling, but all smiles and garlands, and that no one shall seek to honour my memory either by a motion in the senate or by a petition to the Emperor.
