The first requirement of politics is not intellect or stamina but patience. Politics is a very long run game and the tortoise will usually beat the hare. John Major
Naguib Mahfouz quote: "I've never worked in politics, never been a member of an..."
I've never worked in politics, never been a member of an official committee or a political party. Naguib Mahfouz
