OT: Statesmanship

Aristotle -- "What the statesman is most anxious to produce is a
certain moral character in his fellow citizens, namely a disposition
to virtue and the performance of virtuous actions."

Otto von Bismarck -- “I consider even a victorious war as an evil,
from which statesmanship must endeavor to spare nations.”

Winston Churchill -- "A politician thinks about the next elections -
the statesman thinks about the next generations."

A Statesman is calm, yet passionate.

A Statesman is dispassionate in the face of adversity.

A Statesman takes adversity as the natural condition of political man.

A Statesman is a political man who makes bridges with his political
enemies to the good of the Republic.

A Statesman understands in his soul that course that guarantees the
good of the Republic.



Vote for the Statesman.
