Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
Politician: From the Greek poly (many) and the French t?te (head or face, as in t?te-?-t?te: head to head or face to face). Hence
Pitt, Martin

2.
The greatest art of a politician is to render vice serviceable to the cause of virtue.
Bolingbroke, Henry

3.
Politics will sooner or later make fools of everybody.
Armey, Dick

4.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
Eban, Abba

5.
The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that position be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one's contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time.
Davis, Angela Y.

6.
It is my settled opinion, after some years as a political correspondent, that no one is attracted to a political career in the first place unless he is socially or emotionally crippled.
Waugh, Auberon

7.
A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.
Clarke, James Freeman

8.
You slam a politician, you make out he's the devil, with horns and hoofs. But his wife loves him, and so did all his mistresses.
Johnson, Pamela Hansford

9.
To speak on without saying anything has always been the greatest gift of orators.
Platen

10.
When they call the roll in the Senate, the senators do not know whether to answer present or not guilty.
Roosevelt, Theodore

11.
Within the first few months I discovered that being president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep riding or be swallowed.
Truman, Harry S

12.
I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.
Thatcher, Margaret

13.
Growing older, I have lost the need to be political, which means, in this country, the need to be left. I am driven into grudging toleration of the Conservative Party because it is the party of non-politics, of resistance to politics.
Amis, Kingsley

14.
In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme.
Hattersley, Roy

15.
Rome had Senators too, and that is why it declined.
Dane, Frank

16.
Legislators: Rape their wives and do two years. Kill their children and do five years. Steal their money and kiss your ass goodbye.
Powell, L. R.

17.
A politician would do well to remember that he has to live with his conscience longer than he does with his constituents.
Laird, Melvin R.

18.
All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies.
Arbuthnot, John

19.
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities -- that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

20.
Politics has never been for the thin-skinned or the faint of heart, and if you enter the arena , you should expect to get roughed up. Moreover, Democracy in a nation of more than 300 million people is inherently difficult.
President Barack Obama

21.
The two-party system has given this country the war of Lyndon Johnson, the Watergate of Nixon, and the incompetence of Carter. Saying we should keep the two-party system simply because it is working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success because a few people survived on life-rafts.
Mccarthy, Eugene J.

22.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

23.
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Gaulle, Charles De

24.
In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.
Churchill, Winston

25.
If there is anything a public servant hates to do it is something for the public.
Hubbard, Kin

26.
One thing about a pig, he thinks he's warm if his nose is warm. I saw a bunch of pigs one time that had frozen together in a rosette, each one's nose tucked under the rump of the one in front. We have a lot of pigs in politics.
Mccarthy, Eugene J.

27.
Politics in the United States consists of the struggle between those whose change has been arrested by success or failure, on one side, and those who are still engaged in changing themselves, on the other. Agitators of arrested metamorphosis versus agitators of continued metamorphosis. The former have the advantage of numbers (since most people accept themselves as successes or failures quite early), the latter of vitality and visibility (since self-transformation, though it begins from within, with ideology, religion, drugs, tends to express itself publicly through costume and jargon).
Rosenberg, Harold

28.
When we got into office, the thing that surprised me most was to find that things were just as bad as we'd been saying they were.
Kennedy, John F.

29.
It takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead for fifteen years.
Truman, Harry S

30.
The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don't acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

31.
Nothing can be said about our politics that has not already been said about hemorrhoids.

32.
You are pitiful isolated individuals; you are bankrupts; your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on -- into the dustbin of history!
Trotsky, Leon

33.
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Russell, Dora

34.
One can say that three pre-eminent qualities are decisive for the politician: passion, a feeling of responsibility, and a sense of proportion.
Weber, Max

35.
If you can't stand a little sacrifice and you can't stand a trip across the desert with limited water, we're never going to straighten this country out.
Perot, H. Ross

36.
Every clique is a refuge for incompetence. It fosters corruption and disloyalty, it begets cowardice, and consequently is a burden upon and a drawback to the progress of the country. Its instincts and actions are those of the pack.
Chiang Kai-Shek, Madame

37.
Son, in politics you've got to learn that overnight chicken shit can turn to chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

38.
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
Alfred E. Newman

39.
No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.
Disraeli, Benjamin

40.
In politics, an absurdity in public business is going into it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

41.
In politics we presume that everyone who knows how to get votes knows how to administer a city or a state. When we are ill... we do not ask for the handsomest physician, or the most eloquent one.
Plato

42.
My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.
Jackson, Jesse

43.
Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working Americans. It is the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them.
Tomlin, Lily

44.
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other.
Ameringer, Oscar

45.
Politicians -- power itself -- are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives. One should be grateful to the politicians for accepting the abstractness of power, and ridding others of its burden. This inevitably kills them but they get their revenge by passing onto others the corpse of power.
Baudrillard, Jean

46.
When you've got them by their wallets, their hearts and minds will follow.
Naito, Fern

47.
Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

48.
My life's work has been accomplished. I did all that I could.
Gorbachev, Mikhail

49.
Politics is the enemy of the imagination.
Mcewan, Ian

50.
Politics is largely a matter of heart.
R. A. Butler
