In politics, you have your word and your friends; go back on either and you're dead.

Never miss a political meeting if you think there's the slightest chance you'll wish you'd been there.

You cannot make friends of your enemies by making enemies of your friends.

Don't get mad except on purpose.

The winner in a political contest is determined by the number and the effectiveness of the activists on the respective sides.

A prompt, generous letter of thanks can seal a commitment which otherwise might disappear when the going gets rough.

Sound doctrine is sound politics.
