The Science Of Politics Is The One Science That Is Deposited By The Streams Of History, Like The Grains Of Gold In The Sand Of A River; And The Knowledge Of The Past, The Record Of Truths Revealed By Experience, Is Eminently Practical, As An Instrument Of Action And A Power That Goes To Making The Future.

Judge Talent At Its Best And Character At Its Worst.
