“It was the supreme expression of the mediocrity of the apparatus that Stalin himself rose to his position.”

“At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
To seem a statesman.”

“All appointments hurt. Five friends are made cold or hostile for every appointment; no new friends are made. All patronage is perilous to men of real ability or merit. It aids only those who lack other claims to public support.”
