The policies of all powers are inherent in their geography.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Kremlin political intrigues are comparable to a bulldog fight under a rug. An outsider only hears the growling, and when he sees the bones fly out from beneath it is obvious who won.

He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.

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

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
