Life Is Not A Set Campaign, But

Under A Presidential Government, A Nation Has, Except At The Electing Moment, No Influence; It Has Not The Ballot-box Before It; Its Virtue Is Gone, And It Must Wait Till Its Instant Of Despotism Again Returns.

A Constitutional Statesman Is In General A Man Of Common Opinions And Uncommon Abilities.

The Real Essence Of Work Is Concentrated Energy.

We Must Not Let Daylight In Upon The Magic.

So Long As War Is The Main Business Of Nations, Temporary Despotism - Despotism During The Campaign - Is Indispensable.
