"Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary." ― Robert Louis Stevenson Topic(s): Politics More From Robert Louis Stevenson "Marriage is one long conversation, chequered by disputes." "Compromise is the best and cheapest lawyer." "To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life." More In Politics "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."― Franklin D. Roosevelt "With all the hundreds of dresses and shoes I have, it would be an absolute crime if I don’t have a little girl. I have a whole room at home filled with my stage wear."― Katherine Jenkins "If you really want to diminish a candidate, depict him as the foil of his handler. This is as old in American politics as politics itself."― Karl Rove
