Constantine P. Cavafy - Whatever job they give me...
Whatever job they give me, I'll try to be useful to the country. That's what I intend. But if they frustrate me with their manoeuvres - we know them, those smart operators: no need to say more here - if they frustrate me, it's not my fault. (Constantine P. Cavafy)
