More quotes by Frederick Scott Oliver
A wise politician will never grudge a genuflexion or a rapture if it is expected of him by prevalent opinion.
Frederick Scott Oliver
It is true that the politician, in his professional character, does not always, or even very often, conform to the most approved pattern of private conduct.
Frederick Scott Oliver
In taking stock of a politician, the first question is not whether he was a good man who used righteous means, but whether he was successful in gaining power, in keeping it, and in governing whether, in short, he was skilful at his particular craft or a bungler.
