The World Of Politics Is

When A Man Talks With Absolute Sincerity And Freedom He Goes On A Voyage Of Discovery. The Whole Company Has Shares In The Enterprise.

The Fact That A Man Is To Vote Forces Him To Think. You May Preach To A Congregation By The Year And Not Affect Its Thought Because It Is Not Called Upon For Definite Action. But Throw Your Subject Into A Campaign And It Becomes A Challenge.

Every Generation Is A Secret Society And Has Incommunicable Enthusiasms, Tastes, And Interests Which Are A Mystery Both To Its Predecessors And To Posterity.

Wherever You See A Man Who Gives Someone Else's Corruption, Someone Else's Prejudice As A Reason For Not Taking Action Himself, You See A Cog In The Machine That Governs Us.

The Short Lesson That Comes Out Of Long Experience In Political Agitation Is Something Like This: All The Motive Power In All Of These Movements Is The Instinct Of Religious Feeling. All The Obstruction Comes From Attempting To Rely On Anything Else. Conciliation Is The Enemy.
