“To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities; that is not to be taken seriously in politics”
— Vladimir Lenin

Simplified Meaning:
In politics, depending on personal beliefs, strong feelings, or spiritual qualities isn't enough to make a real impact. Imagine a good person who wants to help their community. Just having strong moral values or being very dedicated won't automatically solve problems, like fixing the roads or improving schools. You need practical plans and actions to make changes in government or society. In other words, while it's good to have strong principles, politics also requires strategy, knowledge, and often compromise. If someone wants to succeed in politics, they should focus on real actions and solutions, not just on their personal ideals or passion.
