Democracy is the process by which people choose the man who'll get the blame.

A tiny and closed fraternity of privileged men, elected by no one, and enjoying a monopoly sanctioned and licensed by government.

If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed

By 2000, politics will simply fade away. We will not see any political parties.

An empty stomach is not a good political adviser.

A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life.

Action expresses priorities.

The whole history of the world is summed up in the fact that, when nations are strong, they are not always just, and when they wish to be just, they are no longer strong.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.

In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.

Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen.

Before you can control conditions, you must first control yourself.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive.

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.

The best way to keep one's word is not to give it.

Think thousands time before taking a decision but - after taking decision never turn back even if you get thousands difficulties.

Never exceed your rights, and they will soon become unlimited.

Politics have no relation to morals.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that you'll do things differently.
