Hello everyone, I present this book where some opinions are compiled on how politicians act and what is expected of them according to different historical personalities. Surprisingly, the idea of them has not changed substantially in the last 2,500 years. I hope it is of interest to you. 

This book collects the vision that prominent intellectuals throughout history have had about politicians and politics. Some references describe their behaviors and others describe how they should act. In the Ancient Age, the opinions of Heraclitus of Ephesus, Menander and Marcus Tullius Cicero stand out,  and in the Middle Ages reference is made to the philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas. Among the scholars of the Modern Age, St. John of the Cross, Montesquieu, Voltaire, and Immanuel Kant have been cited.

In the extensive list of great thinkers of the Contemporary Age and of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries with maxims on politicians are the names of James Madison, Felicité Robert de Lamennais, John Stuart Mill, Benito Juárez, Napoleon III, Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, Abraham Lincoln, Santiago Ramón y Cajal, José Martí, George Bernard Shaw, Albert Guinon, Mahatma Gandhi,   Winston Churchill, Sandro Pertini, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, among others. Expressions of personalities who are active in the current twenty-first century are included, such as Woody Allen, Mario Vargas Llosa, Al Pacino, Paulo Coelho, Lynn Westmoreland and Jill Lepore.
