We say that someone occupies an official position, whereas it is the official position that occupies him.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ambition characterizes and distinguishes national officeholders from other kinds of human beings.
It is easier to appear worthy of a position one does not hold, than of the office which one fills.
It is the Higher Power which does everything, and the man is only a tool. If he accepts that position, he is free from troubles; otherwise, he courts them.
I feel it's a person's duty to participate in the governing of the country in which he lives.
The man who prefers his country before any other duty shows the same spirit as the man who surrenders every right to the state. They both deny that right is superior to authority.
Leadership is a choice, not a position.
Official dignity tends to increase in inverse ratio to the importance of the country in which the office is held.
In the sense that you're not at the centre of power, like a president or prime minister of a major power, everyone is marginalised; my position doesn't isn't unique in that respect. I think there are different sorts of relevance in different contexts.
It is not the position, but the disposition.
We are all put in different positions for different reasons.
