“I think there's a suspicion in the South of people putting on airs. You see it in most successful Southern politicians, but you also see it in someone like Richard Petty, who may be a multimillionaire stock car driver, but he's also beloved because he has a nice self-deprecatory way about him.” PeopleThinkingWayMaySelfSuccessfulNiceAirCarPoliticianSouthBelovedDriversSouthernSuspicionPetty Author:John Shelton Reed

“The successful politician owes his power to the fact that he moves within the accepted framework of thought, that he thinks and talks conventionally. It would be almost a contradiction in terms for a politician to be a leader in the field of ideas. His task in a democracy is to find out what the opinions held by the largest number are, not to give currency to new opinions which may become the majority view in some distant future.” ThinkingGivingMayIdeasFactsWould BeMovingPoliticsTermViewsNumbersLeaderOpinionPowerDemocracySuccessfulFieldsPoliticianTasksMajorityAcceptedContradictionCurrencyFramework Author:Friedrich August von Hayek

“The politicians of New York as not so fastidious as some gentlemen are, as to disclosing the principles on which they act. They boldly preach what they practice...if they are defeated, they expect to retire from office. If they are successful, they claim, as a matter of right, the advantages of success. They see nothing wrong in the rule that to the victor belongs the spoils of the enemy.” IfsMatterEnemyPrinciplesPracticeSuccessfulNew YorkPoliticianOfficeAdvantageClaimsGentlemanRetiringDefeatedSpoilFastidious Author:William L.
