Famous quotes related to prime minister:

    “If one had to worry about one’s actions in respect of other people’s ideas, one might as well be buried alive in an antheap or married to an ambitious violinist. Whether that man is the prime minister, modifying his opinions to catch votes, or a bourgeois in terror lest some harmless act should be misunderstood and outrage some petty convention, that man is an inferior man and I do not want to have anything to do with him any more than I want to eat canned salmon.”
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    “The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.”
    —Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)

    “One wants in a Prime Minister a good many things, but not very great things. He should be clever but need not be a genius; he should be conscientious but by no means strait-laced; he should be cautious but never timid, bold but never venturesome; he should have a good digestion, genial manners, and, above all, a thick skin.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
