The ship of state is the only known vessel that leaks from the top.
James Reston
All politics are based on the indifference of the majority.

A government is the only vessel that leaks from the top.

Stick with the optimists. It's going to be tough enough even if they're right.
Europe has a press that stresses opinions; America a press, radio, and television that emphasize news.
This is the very devilish thing about foreign affairs: they are foreign and will not always conform to our whim.
