OT: Statesmanship

[t]

Aristotle -- "What the statesman is most anxious to produce is a certain moral character in his fellow citizens, namely a disposition to virtue and the performance of virtuous actions."

Otto von Bismarck -- ?I consider even a victorious war as an evil, from which statesmanship must endeavor to spare nations.?

Winston Churchill -- "A politician thinks about the next elections - the statesman thinks about the next generations."

A Statesman is calm, yet passionate.

A Statesman is dispassionate in the face of adversity.

A Statesman takes adversity as the natural condition of political man.

A Statesman is a political man who makes bridges with his political enemies to the good of the Republic.

A Statesman understands in his soul that course that guarantees the good of the Republic.

Vote for the Statesman.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Great, now if we could just get one to run for office.

[Doug Miller]

I'd love to. Wish there was one running. Or in office.

[J. Clarke]

A Statesman is not running for President.

Aren't the last of those still pictured on our money?

A statesman is a dead politician -- lord knows we need more statesmen! -- Opus the Penguin

-- "We need to make a sacrifice to the gods, find me a young virgin... oh, and bring something to kill"
