What luck, for governments, that the people are stupid!

For I must not measure the speech of a statesman to his people... but by the effect it exerts on the people.

How can I accept the Order of the Garter, when the people of England have just given me the Order of the Boot?

I do not trust self serving misinformation coming from corporations and their media trolls. I do not trust politicians who are taking millions from those corporations either. I trust people. So I make my music for people not for candidates.

While the people retain their virtue and vigilance, no administration... can very seriously injure the government

I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center.
