The only justifiable purpose of political institutions is to ensure the unhindered development of the individual.

Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.

People have always been and will always be silly victims of deception and self-deception in politics, unless they learn to recognize the interests of certain classes behind any moral, religious, political, social phrases, statements, promises.

In the service, when a man gives you his word, his word is binding. In politics, you never know.

It is a fine game to play the game of politics and it is well worth a good hand before really plunging.

Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
