Musar for Horayot 19:14
אמר מר יכול גזרה גזרה מהיכא תיתי
אמר מר יכול גזרה גזרה מהיכא תיתי
Mesilat Yesharim
The disciples of Raban Gamliel demonstrate this, for they were in financial need due to poverty and nevertheless did not want to accept a position of rulership. This is what was stated in the chapter "Kohen Mashuach": (Horayot 10a): "Do you imagine that I offer you rulership? It is servitude that I offer you!".
