In this my successful journey in the world of politics and politicking, I realized that men are not only in sizes, they are in dimensions.

It is therefore not the beginning that matters. It is not even the middle. It is the end.

The end justifies all. It justifies the beginning, the middle and even itself: the end. Yes, the end justifies the end. This is symbolic of an adverbial which is only existent in the political world.

That was a fellow I could pay his salary and allowance including retirement benefits…
