In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.

In politics nothing is immutable. Events carry within them an invincible power. The unwise destroy themselves in resistance. The skillful accept events, take strong hold of them and direct them.

In politics, an absurdity is not an impediment.

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

Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage.

As for politics, I'm an anarchist. I hate governments and rules and fetters. Can't stand caged animals. People must be free.
