Quote by John Legend
As a politician, you have to deal with someone wanting you to fail

As a politician, you have to deal with someone wanting you to fail every day. I think I prefer being in a situation where generally people are rooting for me, and if they arent rooting for me, they arent out there to see my downfall. I respect the people who have the stomach for it. – John Legend
