Quote by Mark Twain
Principles aren't of much account anyway, except at election time. After that you hang them up to let them season.
Summary
This quote implies that principles and values are often disregarded or compromised by politicians except during elections when they are used as campaign rhetoric. Once elected, however, these principles are abandoned or set aside to allow for more pragmatic or opportunistic decision-making. It highlights the perception that politicians prioritize their own interests and political survival over maintaining a steadfast commitment to their stated principles or values.
