A politician thinks of the next election; a statesman thinks of the next generation.
In politics, as in life, we must above all things wish only for the attainable.
The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
The most powerful weapon in politics is the people's vote.
It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting.
The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.
Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.
