There's nothing so improves the mood of the Party as the imminent execution of a senior colleague.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No matter how senior an official is, if he violates party discipline and the law of the country, he will be seriously dealt with and punished.
Democrats like to picture us as pushing grandmother over the cliff or throwing someone under the bus. In either one of those scenarios, at least the senior has a chance to survive.
No one should ever sit in this office over 70 years old, and that I know.
We are in a period when old questions are settled and the new are not yet brought forward. Extreme party action, if continued in such a time, would ruin the party. Moderation is its only chance. The party out of power gains by all partisan conduct of those in power.
It doesn't take a lot of seniority to vote the way you promised to vote.
Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.
A party full of 'likeable' people doesn't bear contemplating.
There is nothing so marginal as a party that has been in power for 18 years and slides into opposition. You influence nothing.
I can imagine no more comfortable frame of mind for the conduct of life than a humorous resignation.
Nothing is so aggravating than calmness.
