Matching Quote
"One wants in a Prime Minister a good many things, but not very great things. He should be clever but need not be a genius; he should be conscientious but by no means strait-laced; he should be cautious but never timid, bold but never
venturesome
; he should have a good digestion, genial manners, and, above all, a thick skin."
-Anthony Trollope
