During An Election Campaign The Air Is

Man Always Made, And Still Makes, Grotesque Blunders In Selecting And Measuring Forces, Taken At Random From The Heap, But He Never Made A Mistake In The Value He Set On The Whole, Which He Symbolized As Unity And Worshipped As God. To This Day, His Attitude Towards It Has Never Changed, Though Science Can No Longer Give To Force A Name.

Politics Are A Very Unsatisfactory Game.

All State Education Is A Sort Of Dynamo Machine For Polarizing The Popular Mind; For Turning And Holding Its Lines Of Force In The Direction Supposed To Be Most Effective For State Purposes.

Practical Politics Consists In Ignoring Facts.

Every Syllable That Can Be Struck Out Is Pure Profit, And Every Page That Can Be Economised Is A Five-per-cent Dividend. Nature Rebels Against This Rule; The Flesh Is Weak, And Shrinks From The Scissors; I Groan In Retrospect Over The Weak.
