"If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve." ― William Tecumseh Sherman Topic(s): Politics More From William Tecumseh Sherman "There’s many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory but it is all hell." "I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell." "If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking." More In Politics "I guess you’d call me an independent, since I’ve never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label."― Jackie Robinson "There is this concept of politics as a dirty game."― Georgios A. Papandreou "The demographic weight of countries such as China and India exercise a massive pressure on our wages and salaries. They have accomplished massive technological advances and the revolution in information technology has reduced the costs of transport."― Laurent Fabius
