Quote by Herbert Hoover
When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.
Summary

It implies that perhaps it is time to reconsider our expectations and standards for politicians, and seek leaders who possess exceptional qualities and skills, just as we would in other crucial areas of our lives.
