“No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition. It reduces their supporters to that tractable number which can be managed by the joint influences of fruition and hope.

—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“I don’t know jokes; I just watch the government and report the facts.”
—Will Rogers (1879–1935)
“The chief internal enemies of any state are those public officials who betray the trust imposed upon them by the people.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
