A quote wrongly attributed to Old Enoch -what he actuall siad was:

All political lives, unless they are cut off in midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure, because that is the nature of politics and of human affairs."

I'm not surprised you know Enoch Powell's words verbatim.

Nevertheless, the words I quoted stand on their own merits. Nobody really achieves all, or even much of what they set out to achieve in politics.

No thay don't as they're fatuous nonsense. Did FDR's career end in failure? Sean Lemass'? VI Lenin's?

As for knowing Powell's words verbatim...there's this feckin' amazin' thingamajig called the interweb....

Why not? He was one of the finest orators of his generation.
