Politics is not a game. It is an earnest business.

There is a treasure in the heart of every man if you can only find it

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

It is sheer laziness not compressing thought into a reasonable space.

Life can either be accepted or changed. If it is not accepted, it must be changed. If it cannot be changed, then it must be accepted.

A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.

Those whose work and pleasure are one... are... Fortune's favoured children.
