(klee-OH-bi-shahzz; n.pl.) The two great secrets of power, as recited by Cleopatra in George Bernard Shaw's play _Caesar & Cleopatra_: (1) "[I]t is no use my liking or disliking; I do what must be done, and have no time to attend to myself. That is not happiness; but it is greatness." And (2) "[I]t is not that I am so clever, but that the others are so stupid."

"But I don't want to read all these reports. I'm the king! I don't have to do what I don't like." "On the contrary, your Majesty, that is precisely what kings do. How often have I had you recite the cleobishaws? Have I only taught you words your ears ignore even from your own tongue?" "Oh, all right. Give the stupid reports. This will take all night, you know: it isn't going to be much fun." "I know, Majesty: it is not fun, but it is great."
