Politics

Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
- Cooper, James F.
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
In politics a straight line is the shortest distance to disaster.
Roche, John P.

2.
The politician is like an acrobat : he keeps his balance By saying the opposite of what he does.
Barres

3.
The chief element in the art of statesmanship under modern conditions is the ability to elucidate the confused and clamorous interests which converge upon the seat of government. It is an ability to penetrate from the na?ve self-interest of each group to its permanent and real interest. Statesmanship consists in giving the people not what they want but what they will learn to want.
Lippmann, Walter

4.
The right man, in the right place, at the right time, can steal millions.
Nunn, Gregory

5.
The Tories in England had long imagined that they were enthusiastic about the monarchy, the church and beauties of the old English Constitution, until the day of danger wrung from them the confession that they are enthusiastic only about rent.
Marx, Karl

6.
Finality is not the language of politics.
Disraeli, Benjamin

7.
In politics people give you what they think you deserve and deny you what they think you want.
Parkinson, Cecil

8.
The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.
Bradlee, Ben C.

9.
The bright old day now dawns again; the cry runs through the land, in England there shall be dear bread -- in Ireland,sword and brand; and poverty, and ignorance, shall swell the rich and grand, so rally round the rulers with the gentle iron hand, of the fine old English Tory days; hail to the coming time!
Dickens, Charles

10.
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.

11.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
Reagan, Ronald

12.
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

13.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Nathan, George Jean

14.
Sincerity and competence is a strong combination. In politics, it is everything.
Noonan, Peggy

15.
A politician is one that would circumvent God.
Shakespeare, William

16.
Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul -- politics does the same thing for the body.
Cary, Joyce

17.
Nothing is so abject and pathetic as a politician who has lost his job, save only a retired stud-horse.
Mencken, H. L.

18.
Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.

19.
The belief that politics can be scientific must inevitably produce tyrannies. Politics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation. Empirical politics must be kept in bounds by democratic institutions, which leave it up to the subjects of the experiment to say whether it shall be tried, and to stop it if they dislike it, because, in politics, there is a distinction, unknown to science, between Truth and Justice.
Auden, W. H.

20.
Don't fall in love with politicians, they're all a disappointment. They can't help it, they just are.
Noonan, Peggy

21.
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Rogers, Will

22.
Let me just tell you how thrilling it really is, and how, what a challenge it is, because in 1988 the question is whether we're going forward to tomorrow or whether we're going to go past to the back!
Quayle, Dan

23.
My deepest feeling about politicians is that they are dangerous lunatics to be avoided when possible and carefully humored; people, above all, to whom one must never tell the truth.
Auden, W. H.

24.
This Party is a moral crusade or it is nothing.
Wilson, Harold

25.
Politics is a blood sport.
Bevan, Aneurin

26.
There is no sea more dangerous than the ocean of practical politics -- none in which there is more need of good pilots and of a single, unfaltering purpose when the waves rise high.
Huxley, Thomas H.

27.
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

28.
It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.
Bacon, Francis

29.
He could not see a belt without hitting below it.
Asquith, Margot

30.
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

31.
Ignorance makes most men go into a political party, and shame keeps them from getting out of it.
Halifax, Edward F.

32.
Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.
Rogers, Will

33.
I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Charles De Gaulle

34.
In argument, truth always prevails finally; in politics, falsehood always.
Landor, Walter Savage

35.
A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself.
Disraeli, Benjamin

36.
If there is anything a public servant hates to do it is something for the public.
Hubbard, Kin

37.
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.

38.
Let us not forget that we can never go farther than we can persuade at least half of the people to go.
Gaitskell, Hugh

39.
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

40.
Politics are usually the executive expression of human immaturity.
Brittain, Vera

41.
What this country needs is radicals who will stay that way regardless of the creeping years.
Fischer, John

42.
What the statesman is most anxious to produce is a certain moral character in his fellow citizens, namely a disposition to virtue and the performance of virtuous actions.
Aristotle

43.
A political convention is not a place where you can come away with any trace of faith in human nature.
Kempton, Murray

44.
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Rogers, Will

45.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

46.
The mistake a lot of politicians make is in forgetting they've been appointed and thinking they've been anointed.
Pepper, Claude D.

47.
Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them.
Paul Valery

48.
A promising young man should go into politics so that he can go on promising for the rest of his life.
Byrne, Robert

49.
I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers; what I said was all saloonkeepers are Democrats.
Greeley, Horace

50.
A political organization is a transferable commodity. You could not find a better way of killing virtue than by packing it into one of these contraptions which some gang of thieves is sure to find useful.
Chapman, John Jay
