"In argument, truth always prevails finally; in politics, falsehood always." ― Walter Savage Landor Topic(s): Politics More From Walter Savage Landor "Study is the bane of childhood, the oil of youth, the indulgence of adulthood, and a restorative in old age." "Men, like nails, lose their usefulness when they lose their direction and begin to bend." "The flame of anger, bright and brief, sharpens the barb of love." More In Politics "There’s a tendency in politics to attribute bad motivation much too quickly, and the sooner you attribute bad motivation to someone you disagree with, the harder it is to find some common ground to make some progress that would give people confidence that you got it more right than wrong."― Peter Welch "Since turning professional at 18, I have travelled the world playing the game that I love and consider myself a global player. As the World No.1 right now, I wish to be a positive role model and a sportsperson that people respect, and enjoy watching."― Rory McIlroy "Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work."― Caroline Kennedy
