Politikeren, der tidligere måtte lære, hvordan man smigrer konger, må nu lære, hvordan man fortryller, underholder, svindler med,forskrækker eller på anden måde forbløffer vælgernes fantasi
The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it. . . . It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth, without making some other Englishman despise him.
The politician who once had to learn to flatter kings has now to learn how to fascinate, amuse, coax, humbug, frighten, or otherwise strike the fancy of the electorate.
