The political arena leaves one no alternative, one must either be a dunce or a rogue.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A wise nation should cultivate a political spirit that allows opponents to cooperate without fearing an automatic execution from their core supporters. Who knew that the real rogues in American politics would be the ones who dare to get along?
A rich rogue nowadays is fit company for any gentleman; and the world, my dear, hath not such a contempt for roguery as you imagine.
There is probably no such thing as a level playing field in political campaigns.
I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.
Politics is a place of humble hopes and strangely modest requirements, where all are good who are not criminal and all are wise who are not ridiculously otherwise.
A Republic without parties is a complete anomaly. The histories of all popular governments show absurd is the idea of their attempting to exist without parties.
Anyway, I just haven't been able to find any humanity in any Republican candidate ever in my entire life.
There is no force so democratic as the force of an ideal.
I never could be a partisan leader - a man of one idea.
No one can go on being a rebel too long without turning into an autocrat.
