A year is an eternity in politics - though less than a momen

Summary

This quote emphasizes the contrast between the fleeting nature of political events and the lasting impact of historical events. It suggests that while a year may seem like a significant time frame in politics, it pales in comparison to the vast scope of history. It highlights the transitory nature of political cycles and the understanding that what may be of utmost importance in one moment may be overshadowed or forgotten as time goes by.
