Famous quotes containing the words party and/or leaders:

    “A peace is of the nature of a conquest,
    For then both parties nobly are subdued,
    And neither party loser.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
