Aristotle -- "What the statesman is most anxious to produce is a certain moral character in his fellow citizens, namely a disposition to virtue and the performance of virtuous actions."
Harry S. Truman -- "A politician is a man who understands
government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead for 15 years."
Henry Kissinger -- "The statesman's duty is to bridge the gap between experience and vision."
Milton Friedman -- "One man's opportunism is another man's statesmanship."
Otto von Bismarck -- ?I consider even a victorious war as an evil, from which statesmanship must endeavor to spare nations.?
I hope that is clear as mud for ya....
