‘■'A politician is a man who waits round jmtil he finds out- what the street gang wants, and he goes for it—-just ns long as that gang commands a majority. What tins world wants is not the politician, but the patriot—the man who will do the right thing courageously, undaunted, though not a single man, may follow him, just because he knows it to be the right thing. That is the true patriot. What this and every other country wants is good government, not the government of. politicians, but the government of patriots;” —Chancellor George H. Bradford at Wellington.
