Shame on the man of cultivated taste who permits refinement to develop into a fastidiousness that unfits him for doing the rough work of a workaday world.
A broken promise is bad enough in private life. It is worse in the field of politics.
No man is worth his salt in public life who makes on the stump a pledge which he does not keep after election; and, if he makes such a pledge and does not keep it, hunt him out of public life.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles.
