Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea then how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.

We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.

释义：以自己的欲望去顺从他人的人会昌盛，以他人的欢乐来满足自己私欲的人会灭亡。这句话强调了顺应民意与自私自利的不同结局。
