There is nothing more agreeable in life than to make peace with the Establishment - and nothing more corrupting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is possible for political forces to agree.
There cannot be peaceful coexistence in the ideological realm. Peaceful coexistence corrupts.
We will not agree on every issue. But let us respect those differences and respect one another. Let us recognize that we do not serve an ideology or a political party; we serve the people.
Peace is the happy natural state of man; war is corruption and disgrace.
Making peace is harder than making war.
There is no peace because the making of peace is at least as costly as the making of war - at least as exigent, at least as disruptive, at least as liable to bring disgrace and prison and death in its wake.
There is no way to peace; peace is the way.
There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power.
In so much of politics you're not allowed to disagree with what's been agreed.
There is no compromise when it comes to corruption. You have to fight it.
