12. "The imputation of inconsistency is one to which every sound politician and every honest thinker must sooner or later subject himself. The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinion. The course of a great statesman resembles that of navigable rivers, avoiding immovable obstacles with noble bends of concession, seeking the broad levels of opinion on which men soonest settle and longest dwell, following and marking the almost imperceptible slopes of national tendency, yet always aiming at direct advances and sometimes bursting open paths of progress and fruitful human commerce through what seems the eternal barriers of both. It is loyalty to great ends that we demand in public men, and

not sameness of policy, or a conscientious persistency in what is impracticable."

-Lowell.
