"... a man who is endowed with real qualities of leadership will be tempted 
to refrain from taking part in political life; because [...] the situation 
does not call for a man who has a capacity for constructive statesmanship 
but rather for a man who is capable of bargaining for the favour of the 
majority. Thus the situation will appeal to small minds and will attract 
them accordingly."
