The mark of a great leader, be it George Washington or Nelson Mandela,
Is that at the peak of their power,
They define themselves as subjects of the democratic institutions they helped create.
Thus, when the prescribed time to relinquish all power comes,
They do just that, relinquish it ... even when most demand that they stay.
Such is it that democracy, and the institutions they helped create to sustain that democracy,
Are set forever supreme above the will and authority of any man or woman."
