"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors" — Platon

In politics stupidity is not a handicap.

Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish

It is not possible for one to teach others who cannot teach his own family

Opposition: In politics the party that prevents the Government from running amuck by hamstringing it.

There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

He knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career
