His imagination resembles the wings of an ostrich. [of Dryden (1631-1700)]
Many politicians... are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition, that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool... who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he never would be found out.
The object of oratory is not truth but persuasion.
Your Constitution is all sail and no anchor. |
