Quote

My real adversary has no name, no face, no party. It will never be elected, yet it governs - the adversary is the world of finance.

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

I have no desire to enter politics. Because I am not suited for that.

I don't want to express my opinion about actual politics, because if I do, I have to be responsible for my decision.

I feel that if I am freed of the burden of politics, then I can do more, and I can take more unpopular decisions.

I am an enemy to revolutions. I abhor, both from temper and from the clearest judgment I am able to form, all violent convulsions in the affairs of men.

I don't believe in politics; I don't understand any of it.

I'm not consumed with political machinations.

Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable.
