Everybody likes a compliment.
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
But fight we must; and conquer we shall; in the end.
If you wish to win a man over to your ideas, first make him your friend.
If you trust, you will be disappointed occasionally, but if you mistrust, you will be miserable all the time.
Politics, as a trade, finds most and leaves nearly all dishonest.
