One of the things that I think you see sometimes in politics is a certain degree of caution. It's usually advised by consultants who don't want to see you march to the end of a limb.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In politics, you also have to be cautiously optimistic.
I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
When you're a leader, you cannot ignore parts of your constituency, even if you know they're not going to vote for you.
Normally, I stay away from politics - unless I'm going to run for president.
I am persuaded, you will permit me to observe, that the path of true piety is so plain as to require but little political direction.
You can't be entirely unguarded in politics. Even appearing to be unguarded is as much a facade as a reality.
If I started worrying about how my constituents are going to react to every move I make, I wouldn't be able to do my job here. I'll do what I think is right and explain it later.
My political consultant said I'm the only client of his that he does not worry about.
Lives that are so conspicuous have a claustrophobic feeling. Once you're in charge of running a country, you're under scrutiny all the time. That's a trap.
Politics is a lot of serendipity. You're in the right place and the right time and you've got the right message, and it either connects for you or, or it doesn't.
