Sometimes in politics one must duel with skunks, but no one should be fool enough to allow the skunks to choose the weapons.

Ronald Reagan: A Life in Politics

Now interpersonal politics... that's what it's all about.

A dictator must fool all the people all the time and there's only one way to do that, he must also fool himself.

It's quite evident we have been a two-man team all year long. We've been able to fool a lot of people. When you go against a team the caliber of Lansdale Catholic, other kids have to be willing to step up. Rayne and Ryan can't carry this team. As much as they'd like to, it's impossible to.

We are monopolists in the field of politics. We can't stand any competition. We can tolerate no rivals. The working class, to make the revolution can do it only through one party and one program. This is the lesson of the Russian Revolution. That is the lesson of all history since the October Revolution.
