The best man for the job does not go after the job. He waits to be called.
This is attributed in one text to US Pres. Gen. U. S. Grant. However I can't find proof he ever said this. Does anyone know if he did or if it was said by someone else?
"It is men who wait to be selected, and not those who seek, from whom we may expect the most efficient service. "
