English term or phrase: Politics is the art of the possible.

Greetings,

Please, how can I say, “Politics is the art of the possible.”?

This simply means that if you're a politician, you can't do magic as some people seem to expect, but you must limit yourself to what is realistic and possible.

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon
