"I really do not want my pictures in your offices, for the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision"

This quote by Volodymyr Zelensky talks to the importance of keeping the office of the President of Ukraine as a symbol of the nation, rather than an idol or icon. He is recommending that rather of showing images of the President in offices, individuals should hang photos of their own kids. This is a reminder that the choices made by those in power needs to be made with the best interests of the people in mind, and not just for the benefit of the President. By taking a look at photos of their own kids, those in power will be reminded of the value of their choices and the impact they have on the lives of individuals. This quote is a suggestion that the President should be appreciated, but not admired, which the choices made should be for the advantage of the people, not just the President.
