In
statesmanship get the formalities right, never mind about
the moralities.

Suppose you
were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress.
But I repeat myself.

When the
doctrine of allegiance to party can utterly up-end a man's
moral constitution and make a temporary fool of him besides,
what excuse are you going to offer for preaching it,
teaching it, extending it, perpetuating it? Shall you say,
the best good of the country demands allegiance to party?
Shall you also say it demands that a man kick his truth and
his conscience into the gutter, and become a mouthing
lunatic, besides?

I don't care
who does the electing as long as I get to do the nominating.

Until you've
been in politics you've never really been alive; it's rough
and sometimes it's dirty and it's always hard work and
tedious details. But, it's the only sport for grown-ups all
other games are for kids.

A recent
survey was said to prove that the people we Americans most
admire are our politicians and doctors. I don't believe it.
They are simply the people we are most afraid of. And with
the most reason.

Any man with a
fine shock of hair, a good set of teeth, and a bewitching
smile can park his brains, if he has any, and run for public
office.

Nothing can be
said about our politics that has not already been said about
hemorrhoids.
