At the Revolution's end, King George III is reputed to have asked his American-born but Loyalist adviser & artist, Benjamin West, what he thought would be General George Washington's next move. Obviously expecting Washington to become monarch or dictator, the King was surprised to hear that advisor say that Washington would resign his commission and return to his farm (which is what he did do.)

Upon hearing that speculation, the King of the defeated British Nation said; "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world!"
