The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation.

Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power.

Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People.

I repeat... that all power is a trust that we are accountable for its exercise that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist.

Fame and power are the objects of all men. Even their partial fruition is gained by very few and that, too, at the expense of social pleasure, health, conscience, life.

Real politics are the possession and distribution of power.

The more extensive a man's knowledge of what has been done, the greater will be his power of knowing what to do.

Where knowledge ends, religion begins.

Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.

The pursuit of science leads only to the insoluble.
