Albert Gore More Politics quotes

Aldous Huxley More Politics quotes
Roughly speaking, any man with energy and enthusiasm ought to be able to bring at least a dozen others round to his opinion in the course of a year no matter how absurd that opinion might be.

It is all a question of getting hold of them in the right way and working on their weak points.
