| |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two kinds of men generally best succeed in political life; men of no principle, but of great talent; and men of no talent, but of one principle - that of obedience to their superiors. | | Wendell Phillips | | | | | We prefer war in all cases to tribute under any form and to any people whatever | | Thomas Jefferson | | | | | When a leader is in the Democratic party he's a boss; when he's in the Republican party he's a leader | | Harry S Truman | | | When politics and religion are intermingled, a people is suffused with a sense of invulnerability, and gathering speed in their forward charge, they fail to see the cliff ahead of them | | Frank Herbert | | | Whenever a fellow tells me he is bipartisan, I know he's going to vote against me | | Harry S Truman | | | Whenever a fellow tells me he's bipartisan I know he's going to vote against me | | Harry S Truman | | | Why, this fellow don't know any more about politics than a pig knows about Sunday. | | Harry S Truman | | | | | Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever. | | Albert Einstein | | | You can fool too many of the people too much of the time. | | James Thurber | | | You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time. | | Abraham Lincoln | | | You've got to be (an) optimist to be a Democrat, and you've got to be a humorist to stay one | | Will Rogers | | | …a few philosophers really do important work. This applies to the so called ‘critical philosophy’ and to the theory of knowledge or epistemology. This class of workers I call epistemologists to avoid the disagreeable implications of the term ‘philosopher’. | | Alfred Korzybski | | | | | | | |
