South African Politician

Famous quotes containing the words south, african and/or politician:

    Even when seen from near, the olive shows
    A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
    The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
    Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
    And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
    Teaches the South it is not paradise.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    If your buttocks burn, you know you have done wrong.
    —White South African proverb.

    The politician who never made a mistake never made a decision.
    John Major (b. 1943)
