King Louis Philippe once said to me that he attributed the great success of the British nation in political life to their talking politics after dinner.

The great curse of modern political life is incrementalism.

There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable; for in politics there is no honour.

My objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.

The secret to success is constancy of purpose.

No man is fit to be a Senator... unless he is willing to surrender his political life for great principle.
