Famous quotes containing the word political:

    There is not a more prudent maxim, than to live with one’s enemies as if they may one day become one’s friends; as it commonly happens, sooner or later, in the vicissitudes of political affairs.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
