All men who seek to rule over other men will eventually become a tyrant.

But he who seeks to serve his fellow man will eventually become a saint.

Choose this day which pathway you will follow.

Brethren, seek to be of service to both God and man and never seek to rule over anyone; because he who seeks to rule has already fallen from grace and is on the pathway that leads to destruction.

He who seeks to serve, does so by the motivation of love; but he who seeks to rule, does so by the motivation of pride and vanity.

Pride leads to self destruction, but love leads to life everlasting.
