The meekness of one who has been given an appointed work, the readiness to take counsel with herself and with others, the perception that she herself was not the be-all and the end-all of her functions as a queen, but that she existed for her people, and the quick and tender open-minded sympathy which enabled her to see their side of every question as well as her own -- indeed, in preference to her own. These are the qualities proper to every ruler of a household, a school, or a kingdom. -Charlotte Mason
Another excellent quote gratefully lifted from Sara at Surprises Along the Way.
