"Parties weaken themselves by their fear of..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“Bloodletting is among the ingredients of political medicine.”

“I do not amuse myself by thinking of dead people.”

“When soldiers have been baptized in the fire of a battle-field, they have all one rank in my eyes.”

“I don't give a damn about semi-radicals!”

“I think President Barack Obama has been a good president.”

“The only justifiable purpose of political institutions is to ensure the unhindered development of the individual.”

“Donald Trump is temperamentally unfit.”

“He who rules by moral force is like the pole star, which remains in place while all the lesser stars do homage to it.”

“But I think the American people expect more from us than cries of indignation and attack. The times are too grave, the challenge too urgent, and the stakes too high to permit the customary passions of political debate. We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future. As Winston Churchill said on taking office some twenty years ago: if we open a quarrel between the present and the past, we shall be in danger of losing the future.”
