"The small progress we have made after four or five weeks close attendance and continual reasonings with each other ... is, methinks, a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the human understanding. We indeed seem to feel our own want of political wisdom, since we have been running about in search of it. We have gone back to ancient history for models of government, and examined the different forms of those republics which, having been formed with seeds of their own dissolution, now no longer exist."	Benjamin Franklin
"There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action."	Bertrand Russell

"We must not measure greatness from the mansion down, but from the manger up."	Jesse Jackson
"For nearly five years the present Ministers have harassed every trade, worried every profession, and assailed or menaced every class, institution, and species of property in the country. Occasionally they have varied this state of civil warfare by perpetrating some job which outraged public opinion, or by stumbling into mistakes which have been always discreditable, and sometimes ruinous. All this they call a policy, and seem quite proud of it; but the country has, I think, made up its mind to close this career of plundering and blundering."	Benjamin Disraeli

"Platitudes? Yes, there are platitudes. Platitudes are there because they are true."	Margaret Thatcher
