"Woe betide the leaders now perched on..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“Democracy is a very bad form of government ... but all the others are so much worse.”

“We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.”

“We build dwellings and thereafter they build us.”

“A tyrant... is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader.”

“Integration is the method toward obtaining that goal. And what he Negro leader has done is gotten himself wrapped up in the method and has forgotten what the goal is.”

“In truth I care little about any party's politics—the man behind it is the important thing.”

“Both conservatives and liberals watch 'Parks and Recreation,' and they each think the show is for them, which is really cool. 'SNL' was totally different. It was exciting because everyone was paying attention. Political humor works when people know what you're talking about.”

“The true friend of property, the true conservative, is he who insists that property shall be the servant and not the master of the commonwealth; who insists that the creature of man’s making shall be the servant and not the master of the man who made it. The citizens of the United States must effectively control the mighty commercial forces which they have called into being. There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains. To put an end to it will be neither a short nor an easy task, but it can be done.”

“Congress consists of one-third, more or less, scoundrels; two-thirds, more or less, idiots; and three-thirds, more or less, poltroons.”
