Somerset/politics

Famous quotes containing the words somerset and/or politics:

    Men have an extraordinarily erroneous opinion of their position in nature; and the error is ineradicable.
    —W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)

    They who have been bred in the school of politics fail now and always to face the facts. Their measures are half measures and makeshifts merely. They put off the day of settlement, and meanwhile the debt accumulates.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
