The following is an especially apt quote from page 80 of the January 1867 issue of Godey’s Lady’s Book. Yes, 1867.
“No man can safely govern that would not cheerfully become a subject; no man can safely command that has not truly learned to obey; and no man can safely rejoice but him that has the testimony of a good conscience.”
Godey’s was a popular American magazine in the 19th century.
