"'The Chief,' Ralph had said, 'is the first servant of the tribe.'" (p. 54)
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave

An unusually good Biblical passage.
Says same as Ralph.
Poul Anderson could have inserted this passage from Matthew. However, few books have survived the Doom and few people have learned to read. Ralph's remark is an example of inherited wisdom.
I might chose this passage if I were asked to read at the funeral of a trade union steward or campaigner.
Leaders are not rulers.
