338. AMBITION, Government and.—[further continued].
I have no inclination to
govern men. I should have no views of my
own in doing it; and as to those of the governed,
I had rather that their disappointment
(which must always happen) should be
pointed to any other cause, real or supposed,
than to myself.—
To Mr. Volney. Washington ed. iv, 158.
