~POLITICIAN, n. An eel in
the fundamental mud upon which the superstructure of organized society is
reared. When we wriggles he mistakes the agitation of his tail for the
trembling of the edifice. As compared with the statesman, he suffers the
disadvantage of being alive.

The difference between a politician and a
statesman is: a politician thinks of the next election and a statesman
thinks of the next generation.
