Political courage is not political suicide.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Political courage requires clarity.
Often the test of courage is not to die but to live.
Life is not easy in politics.
The opposite for courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
The courage we desire and prize is not the courage to die decently, but to live manfully.
Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.
The characteristic political attitude of today is not one of positive belief, but of despair.
Politics is not about power.
There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable; for in politics there is no honour.
