We Moralize Among Ruins.

Real Politics Are The Possession And Distribution Of Power.

I Repeat... That All Power Is A Trust; That We Are Accountable For Its Exercise; That From The People And For The People All Springs, And All Must Exist.

No Government Can Be Long Secure Without A Formidable Opposition. It Reduces Their Supporters To That Tractable Number Which Can Be Managed By The Joint Influences Of Fruition And Hope. It Offers Vengeance To The Discontented, And Distinction To The Ambitious; And Employs The Energies Of Aspiring Spirits, Who Otherwise May Prove Traitors In A Division Or Assassins In A Debate.

Everyone Likes Flattery; And When You Come To Royalty You Should Lay It On With A Trowel.

Where Knowledge Ends, Religion Begins.
