Ruler

From Chesterton's "Orthodoxy": "If the great paradox of Christianity means anything, it means this--that we must take the crown in our hands, and go hunting in dry places and dark corners of the earth until we find the one man who feels himself unfit to wear it....we must crown the much more exceptional man who knows he can't [rule]"

This is why democracy in America is soooo messed up. Bunch of rich, power-hungry narcissists.
