Consists

Famous quotes containing the word consists:

“The chief element in the art of statesmanship under modern conditions is the ability to elucidate the confused and clamorous interests which converge upon the seat of government. It is an ability to penetrate from the naïve self-interest of each group to its permanent and real interest.... Statesmanship ... consists in giving the people not what they want but what they will learn to want.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

“True realism consists in revealing the surprising things which habit keeps covered and prevents us from seeing.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

“Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
