George Washington.

The one of two people in all of history I know of who truely didn't want power.

After the war the British Monarch asked what Washington wanted to do; he was then informed that he planed to return to his farm (which he did) upon which the king commented that if he did that he would be the greatest man in the world.

You have to be some person to get your greatest enemy to say that you are the greatest man in the world.
