"The world of politics is always twenty years behind the world of thought." ― John Jay Chapman Topic(s): Politics More From John Jay Chapman "Good government is the outcome of private virtue." "Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it. The gift of teaching is a peculiar talent, and implies a need and a craving in the teacher himself." "Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same – hardihood. Give them raw truth." More In Politics "I like to see myself as a bridge builder, that is me building bridges between people, between races, between cultures, between politics, trying to find common ground."― T. D. Jakes "I have been poor and I wanted to document poverty; I had lost a child and I was obsessed with birth; I was interested in politics and I wanted to know how it affected our lives; I am a woman and I wanted to know about women."― Eve Arnold "Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion."― Martha Graham
