But in those of the popular character, in governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. - George Washington There has ever been, and will always be, two dominant parties in politics, and this is indirectly an advantage to the general interests of the country. - Daniel Webster Party spirit enlists a man's virtues in the cause of his vices. - Archbishop Richard Whately The tendency of party spirit has ever been to disguise and propagate and support error. - Archbishop Richard Whately
