An influential member of parliament has not only to pay much money to become such, and to give time and labour, he has also to sacrifice his mind too - at least all the characteristics part of it that which is original and most his own.

-- Walter Bagehot 沃尔特·巴格霍特

一个有影响力的国会议员不仅要花很多钱才能成为这样的人，而且要付出时间和精力，他还必须牺牲自己的思想——至少在思想的所有特点中，最原始和最属于他自己的部分。
