Lord Vetinari laid his pen aside. ‘You have to consider the psychology of the individual, Drumknott.
After all these years of reading PTerry, the penny has finally dropped: Lord Vetinari is Pratchett's Jeeves! In one of the later Jeeves stories, as I recall, Bertie wonders why Jeeves is content to iron his shirts and pour his drinks, when with his brain he could be running the country. Discworld shows what it would be like if someone like Jeeves ran a pre-modern civilisation.
“We never sit anything out. We are cups, quietly and constantly being filled. The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.”

“If you asked me now who I am, the only answer I could give with any certainty would be my name. For the rest: my loves, my hates, down even to my deepest desires, I can no longer say whether these emotions are my own, or stolen from those I once so desperately wished to be.”

“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”

“If I can stop one Heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can Ease one life the Aching,
Or cool one Pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again,
I shall not live in Vain.”
