Reuters quote of the day, May 7

London, May 6 (Reuters) Following is a notable quote from history. ''Politics can be likened to driving at night over unfamiliar hills and mountains. Close attention must be paid to what the beam can reach, and the next bend.'' -- Nobel laureate David Trimble, an architect of Northern Ireland's 1998 peace deal. On May 7, 2005 Trimble stepped down as leader of the moderate Protestant Ulster Unionist Party after he was defeated and his party did poorly in Britain's general election.
