Every Hour Of Useful Work Is Precious.

I Believed The People Had A True Instinct In Most Matters Of Government When Left Alone. That They Were Not Swayed, As Specially Favoured Individuals Were, By Personal Interest, But Rather By A Sense Of What Best Served The Common Good. That They Recognized The Truth When It Was Put Before Them, And That A Leader Can Guide So Long As He Kept To The Right Lines. I Did Not Think It Was A Mark Of Leadership To Try To Make The People Do What One Wanted Them To Do.

The Politician's Promises Of Yesterday Are The Taxes Of Today.

Government, In The Last Analysis, Is Organized Opinion. Where There Is Little Or No Public Opinion, There Is Likely To Be Bad Government.

When It Comes To Politics, One Has To Do As One At Sea With A Sailing Ship, Reach One's Course Having Regard To Prevailing Winds.

I've Always Found That You Can Control People Better If You Don't See Too Much Of Them.
