POLITICS : SOME THOUGHTS

(1) I am not an old,experienced hand at politics. But I am now
seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about
any political campaign is how to win without proving that you
are unworthy of winning.
................................................Adlai Stevenson

(2) Man is by nature a political animal.
.....................................................Aristotle

(3) I used to say that politics was the second lowest profession
and I have come to know that it bears a great similarity to the
first.
..............................................Ronald Reagan

(4) There has never been a perfect government, because men
have passions; and if they did not have passions, there would
be no need for a government.
..................................................Voltaire

(5) You can fool too many of the people too much of the time.
.............................................James Thurber

(6) Too bad all the people who know how to run the country
are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.
...............................................George Burns

(7) Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big
appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
.........................................Ronald Reagan

(8) Political ability is the ability to foretell what is going to
happen tomorrow, next week, next month,and next year.
And to have the ability afterward to explain why it didn't
happen.

honest.
