• "Politics is not an exact science.“
• "Politics is the art of the next best.“
• "Politics ruins the character.“
• "Politics is the art of the possible.“
• "To retain respect for sausages and laws, one must not watch them in the making.“
• "Politics is not an exact science.“
• "When you want to fool the world, tell the truth.“
• "People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.“
