Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
I played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Nixon, Richard M.

2.
Any 20 year-old who isn't a liberal doesn't have a heart, and any 40 year-old who isn't a conservative doesn't have a brain.
Churchill, Winston

3.
When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it, and I didn't inhale, and I never tried again.
Clinton, Bill

4.
Politics are now nothing more than means of rising in the world. With this sole view do men engage in politics, and their whole conduct proceeds upon it.
Johnson, Samuel

5.
Politics is organized hatred, that is unity.
Chapman, John Jay

6.
Political organizations have slowly substituted themselves for the Churches as the places for believing practices. Politics has once again become religious.
Certeau, Michel De

7.
The Empress is legitimate, my cousin is Republican, Morny is Orleanist, I am a socialist; the only Bonapartist is Persigny, and he is mad.
Napoleon III

8.
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.

9.
People say I'm indecisive, but I don't know about that.
Bush, George

10.
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities -- that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

11.
Any established village; could afford a town drunkard, a town atheist, and a few Democrats.
Brogan, Denis E.

12.
If American politics does not look to you like a joke, a tragic dance; if you have enough blindness left in you, on any plea, on any excuse, to vote for the Democratic Party or the Republican Party (for at present machine and party are one), or for any candidate who does not stand for a new era, -- then you yourself pass into the slide of the magic-lantern; you are an exhibit, a quaint product, a curiosity of the American soil. You are part of the problem.
Chapman, John Jay

13.
Politics is a blood sport.
Bevan, Aneurin

14.
The politician who never made a mistake never made a decision.
Major, John

15.
There are no true friends in politics. We are all sharks circling, and waiting, for traces of blood to appear in the water.
Clark, Alan

16.
Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.
Margaret Cho

17.
Never answer a question from a farmer.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

18.
Few businessmen are capable of being in politics, they don't understand the democratic process, they have neither the tolerance or the depth it takes. Democracy isn't a business.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

19.
Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.
Gaulle, Charles De

20.
Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.
John Kenneth Galbraith

21.
When a leader is in the Democratic Party he is a boss, and when he is in the Republican Party he is a leader.
Truman, Harry S

22.
In politics... shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

23.
Politics is a choice of enemas. You're gonna get it up the ass, no matter what you do.
Higgins, George V.

24.
There is no more independence in politics than there is in jail.
Rogers, Will

25.
In order to remain true to oneself one ought to renounce one's party three times a day.
Rostand, Jean

26.
All politics takes place on a slippery slope. The most important four words in politics are up to a point.
Will, George F.

27.
The most difficult choice a politician must ever make is whether to be a hypocrite or a liar.

28.
Any man with a fine shock of hair, a good set of teeth, and a bewitching smile can park his brains, if he has any, and run for public office.

29.
Yogi met George Bush during an election campaign. Bush said Texas was important. Yogi said Texas has a lot of electrical votes.
Berra, Yogi

30.
A political convention is not a place where you can come away with any trace of faith in human nature.
Kempton, Murray

31.
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.

32.
Let us not forget that we can never go farther than we can persuade at least half of the people to go.
Gaitskell, Hugh

33.
Nothing can so alienate a voter from the political system as backing a winning candidate.
Mark B. Cohen

34.
Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident -- the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.
Banfield, Edward C.

35.
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Nixon, Richard M.

36.
My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.
Jackson, Jesse

37.
There is one rule for politicians all over the world: Don't say in Power what you say in opposition; if you do, you only have to carry out what the other fellows have found impossible.
Galsworthy, John

38.
A constitutional statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities.
Bagehot, Walter

39.
In the school of political projectors, I was but ill entertained, the professors appearing, in my judgment, wholly out of their senses; which is a scene that never fails to make me melancholy. These unhappy people were proposing schemes for persuading monarchs to choose favorites upon the score of their wisdom, capacity, and virtue; of teaching ministers to consult the public good; of rewarding merit, great abilities, and eminent services, of instructing princes to know their true interest, by placing it on the same foundation with that of their people; of choosing for employment persons qualified to exercise them; with many other wild impossible chimeras, that never entered before into the heart of man to conceive; and confirmed in me the old observation, that there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth.
Swift, Jonathan

40.
Don't fall in love with politicians, they're all a disappointment. They can't help it, they just are.
Noonan, Peggy

41.
A passion for politics stems usually from an insatiable need, either for power, or for friendship and adulation, or a combination of both.
Brodie, Fawn M.

42.
A promising young man should go into politics so that he can go on promising for the rest of his life.
Byrne, Robert

43.
We assume that politicians are without honor. We read their statements trying to crack the code. The scandals of their politics: not so much that men in high places lie, only that they do so with such indifference, so endlessly, still expecting to be believed. We are accustomed to the contempt inherent in the political lie.
Rich, Adrienne

44.
There is an increasingly pervasive sense not only of failure, but of futility. The legislative process has become a cruel shell game and the service system has become a bureaucratic maze, inefficient, incomprehensible, and inaccessible.
Richardson, Elliot

45.
In politics, an absurdity in public business is going into it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

46.
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

47.
The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best.
Will Rogers

48.
One has to be a lowbrow, a bit of a murderer, to be a politician, ready and willing to see people sacrificed, slaughtered, for the sake of an idea, whether a good one or a bad one.
Miller, Henry

49.
What do you want to be a sailor for? There are greater storms in politics than you will ever find at sea. Piracy, broadsides, blood on the decks. You will find them all in politics.
George, David Lloyd

50.
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
Ephron, Nora
