"There are times in politics when you must be on the right side and lose." ― John Kenneth Galbraith Topic(s): Politics More From John Kenneth Galbraith "All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership." "Politics is the art of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable." "More die in the United States of too much food than of too little." More In Politics "I don’t think I prefer writing for one age group above another. I am just as pleased with a story which I feel works well for very small children as I do with a story for young adults."― Margaret Mahy "I will say that I think Israel enjoys strong bipartisan support in the United States. It’s really above and beyond American politics."― Benjamin Netanyahu "My political science degree is always on the back-burner. I took my LSAT, so even if I want to take the LSAT again, I know what I’m getting into. I’ll keep it on the back-burner. Who knows, maybe with my popularity, I can have a career in politics with a law degree. I think it’ll work out either way."― Vinny Guadagnino
