The heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.

No one is able to rule unless he is also able to be ruled.

It is more difficult to avoid being ruled than to rule others.

He that cannot obey cannot command.

Who himself cannot control
Why should he o'er others rule?

To resist him that is set in authority is evil.

What is governing to a man that can rule himself? If he cannot rule himself, how shall he rule others?

No man ruleth safely but that he is willingly ruled.

Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority.

One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.

People are difficult to be ruled, Because the ruler governs with personal desire and establishes too many laws to confuse the people.

He who is unfit to serve his fellow citizens wants to rule them.

He is worse than the others, I show. He is worst of all of them.
Because–
Because he knew he was doing wrong. He felt the pain of his actions–
But he did not amend them, shows the Sky.
The rest are worth as much as their pack animals, I show, but worst is the one who knows better and does nothing.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
