Real politics are the possession and distribution of power.
Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions; never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination.
I am neither a Whig nor Tory. My politics are described in one word and that word is England.
A parsimony of words prodigal of sense.
The art of governing mankind by deceiving them.
Be amusing: never tell unkind stories; above all, never tell long ones.
