William Francis Buckley (William F. Buckley, Jr.) Quotes
A good debater is not necessarily an effective vote-getter: you can find a hole in your opponent's argument through which you could drive a coach and four ringing jingle bells all the way, and thrill at the crystallization of a truth wrung out from a bloody dialogue - which, however, may warm only you and your muse, while the smiling paralogist has in the meantime made votes by the tens of thousands.

He does not want an office; his name never gets into the newspaper except when he gets married or dies. He keeps production going on....
