Kings can only use their best tools.

[Kay] was not at all an unpleasant person really, but clever, quick, proud, passionate and ambitious. He was one of those people who would be neither a follower nor a leader, but only an aspiring heart, impatient in the failing body which imprisoned it.
T. H. White
The destiny of man is an individualistic destiny.
T. H. White
Unfortunately we have tried to establish Right by Might, and you can 't do that.
