To succeed inside a political party, one must cultivate an ability to sit still and remain polite while foolish people speak nonsense

Moral outrage is the most powerful motivating force in politics.

The mind can absorb no more than the seat can endure.

In politics, nothing moves unless it's pushed.

A stable movement requries a healthy, reciprocal I.O.U. flow among its participants. Don't keep a careful tally.

Keep a secure home base.
