“Politics can be a noble discipline, but more often it is a necessary evil. It is usually as filthy as a sewer, but also as necessary as a sewer. A shiny palace wouldn’t be so shiny if it didn’t have good sewers.”
- Alija Izetbegovic, the first President of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina

“Politicians are like diapers: they need to be changed frequently, and for the same reason.”
