It was not a comfortable Throne, this seat made of stone. But power was not supposed to be comfortable.

About This Quote

Power is not comfortable. It’s not something that can be taken lightly, or walked away from. It’s much more than just a seat on a throne. It’s about the ability to rule with wisdom and compassion, and to use your power for good instead of evil.

People who are in positions of power should remember this. They don’t have the luxury of taking their position lightly.
