A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Politicians all too often think about the next election. Statesmen think about the next generation.
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.
A politician is a person with whose politics you don't agree; if you agree with him he's a statesman.
To be a statesman, you must first get elected.
Leadership is not about the next election, it's about the next generation.
When you're out of office, you can be a statesman.
I think every election is sui generis. I think it starts with where we are in the country at this time, with what Americans are thinking, feeling and hoping, and it proceeds from there. And it is always about the future.
Now I know what a statesman is; he's a dead politician. We need more statesmen.
This election is about who's going to be the next President of the United States!
You know, a statesman is a dead politician.
