Trying to keep a society together, trying to keep the older and the younger people together, trying to keep those who live in rural areas together with those who live in cities is one of the most important and most noble tasks of politicians these days.

What does democracy come down to? The persuasive power of slogans invented by wily self-seeking politicians.
W. Somerset Maugham

World peace is not something that can be realized simply by politicians signing treaties, or by business leaders creating economic cooperation. True and lasting peace will be realized only by forging bonds of trust between people at the deepest level, in the depths of their very lives.

If you want irresponsible politicians to spend less, you must give them less to spend.
