I didn't become leader to transform the Liberal Democrats into an enlarged form of the Electoral Reform Society. It's not the be all and end all for us. There are other very very key ambitions in politics not least social mobility and life chances that I care about as passionately if not more.

I'm looking forward to the day when America will mature to the point that we are a color-blind society. I'm not so sure that in politics that will ever be reality because politics has a way of separating us based on skin color.

I think politics is important. It's how we run our society. I think it should be natural to have an interest in the subject and I almost don't understand why some people don't.

Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.

Radical changes in world politics leave America with a heightened responsibility to be for the world an example of a genuinely free democratic just and humane society.

A healthy democracy requires a decent society it requires that we are honorable generous tolerant and respectful.

Society's dark hull drifts further and further away. It is this place - the place of our separation our distinction - that much of his poetry occupies.

I believe however that peace is attainable regardless of the Arabs mentality society or government.
