Famous quotes containing the words statesman and/or caprice:
“A statesman is an easy man,
He tells his lies by rote;
A journalist makes up his lies
And takes you by the throat;
So stay at home and drink your beer
And let the neighbours vote.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The only difference between a caprice and a life-long passion is that the caprice lasts a little longer.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
