True nobility is to exercise power as a servant to all and master of none.

I can get on my knees and pray all day, but until my attitude is on its knees nothing will be different once I’m back on my feet.

To lead is to serve. Conversely, to serve is to lead. And if either of these elements are removed from the equation, we’ll soon find that we’re doing neither.

If I am not a servant to others, by process of elimination I am then a servant to myself. And that serves no one.
