Summary
This quote suggests the disappointment and disillusionment with the political system. It implies that the most capable and virtuous individuals rarely run for office or are not given the opportunity to do so. It speaks to the idea that often those who possess the necessary qualities to make positive changes are not the ones who seek power or are chosen by the political establishment. This echoes the sentiment that the most deserving leaders are often overlooked or overshadowed by candidates who may not necessarily have the best interests of the people at heart.
