Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from
The poor and campaign funds from the rich,
by promising to protect each from the other.
In order to become the master,
the politician poses as the servant.
Honesty in politics is much like oxygen.
The higher up you go, the scarcer it becomes.
Good leaders are like baseball umpires; they go practically unnoticed when doing their jobs right.
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
