Political parties

"The first advice I have to give the party is that it should clean its slate."

"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party."

"You cannot choose between party government and Parliamentary government. I say you can have no Parliamentary government if you have no party government; and therefore when gentlemen denounce party government, they strike at the scheme of government which, in my opinion, has made this country great, and which, I hope, will keep it great."

"A political party—it’s like a sausage grinder; it grinds all the heads up together into one mash, and then it turns them out, link by link, into fatheads and meatheads!"

"The role of the party is to recognize people’s understanding, to raise it to a higher plain, to support progressive thinking and acts."

"Party honesty is party expediency."
