To be a king I would wear a heavy crown, because I would bear the burdens of my people. I would not take my ease until the poorest among my people was fed. I would give more than I would take. I would not seek riches or lands, but wisdom as my treasure. I would absorb knowledge so that I could help many and not a few. I would seek out the humble and wise to be judges and not the rich and powerful. The door of my castle would never be closed to the poor or those in need. In all things I would show mercy and give justice in kind.
