Quote by Lord Palmerston

"The function of government is to calm, not to excite the passions of the people."

"I therefore fearlessly challenge the verdict which this House is going to give."

"Politics is the art of the possible."

"The British people are as much attached to their freedom and independence as any people in the world."

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
