There was left only the monk to provide for, whom Gargantua would have made Abbot of Seville, but he refused it.the monk gave him a very peremptory answer, that he would never take upon him the charge nor government of monks. For how shall I be able, said he, to rule over others, that have not full power and command of myself: If you think I have done you, or may hereafter do you any acceptable service, give me leave to found an abbey after my own mind and fancy.
François Rabelais
