OF POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

            Politics is defined as the art or science of government; political views, affairs, questions, policies, ideologies, beliefs, convictions, etc. it can be both profession and means of social service. Selfless politics is now rare. A politician is a person who follows politics as a career and joins a political party. In comparison, a statesman is far superior to a politician. He takes a highly mature, wise and broadminded part in state affairs. His decisions are farsighted and above party politics.   

                        HERE ARE SOME VALUABLE QUOTES:

1. There is no gambling like politics.---Former U.K. Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881).
2. A politician is like quick-silver: if you try to put your finger on him, you find nothing under it. English writer Austin O’Malley (1858-1932).
3. Part honesty is party expediency. Grover Cleveland, 24^th U.S.Prsident (1837-1908).
4. Two kinds of men generally best succeed in political life : men of no principle but of great talent: and men of no talent , but of one principle --- that of obedience to their superiors.
5. The man who can make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, grow on the spot where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind , and render more essential service to the country than the whole race of politicians put together. Jonathan Swift (!667-1745)
