A politician who enters public life may as well face the fact that the best way of not being found out is not to do anything which, if found out, will cause his ruin.
Political liberty is nothing else but the diffusion of power.
The moment politics becomes dull, democracy is in danger.
The best way I know of to win an argument is to start by being in the right.
If dictatorship is the concentration of power, freedom consists in its diffusion.
I regard freedom of expression as the primary right without which one can not have a proper functioning democracy.
