Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Cardinal Wolsey All men are to be judged by what they do, and the way ill which they do it. In the case of great statesmen there is a third consideration which challenges our judgment - what they choose to do. This consideration only presents itself in the case of great statesmen, and even then is not always recognised. For the average statesman floes from day to day the business which has to be done, takes affairs as he finds them, and makes the best of them. Many who deliberately selected the questions with which they dealt have yet shrunk from the responsibility of their choice, and have preferred to represent their actions as inevitable. Few can claim the credit of choosing the sphere of their activity, of framing a connected policy with clear and definite ends, and of applying their ideas to every department of national organisation. In short, statesmen are generally opportunists, or choose to represent themselves as such; and this has been especially the case with English statesmen - amongst whom Wolsey stands out as a notable exception.
