Best Quotes about Politics
I hope the two wings of the Democratic Party may flap together.
Bryan, William Jennings
Politics is about putting yourself in a state of grace.
Ashdown, Paddy
In politics, yesterday's lie is attacked only to flatter today's.
Rostand, Jean
No political party has exclusive patent rights on prosperity.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
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
Politics is the gizzard of society, full of gut and gravel.
Thoreau, Henry David
At home you always have to be a politician. When you're abroad you almost feel yourself a statesman.
Macmillan, Harold
People start parades -- politicians just get out in front and act like they're leading.
Rinehart, Dana Gillman
When great questions end, little parties begin.
Bagehot, Walter
The heaviest penalty for deciding to engage in politics is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.
Plato
The right man, in the right place, at the right time, can steal millions.
Nunn, Gregory
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Lester B. Pearson
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities -- that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
Mediocrity in politics is not to be despised. Greatness is not needed.
Enzensberger, Hans Magnus
Many politicians lay it down as a self-evident proposition, that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story, who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
Macaulay, Lord
He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party man.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
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
Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does.
Marx, Groucho
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary
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
A political leader must keep looking over his shoulder all the time to see if the boys are still there. If they aren't still there, he's no longer a political leader.
Baruch, Bernard M.
The era of the political was one of anomie: crisis, violence, madness and revolution. The era of the trans-political is that of anomaly: an aberration of no consequence, contemporaneous with the event of no consequence.
Baudrillard, Jean
It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
Carlyle, Thomas
The word'politics'is derived from the word'poly', meaning'many', and the word'ticks', meaning'blood sucking parasites'.
Larry Hardiman
It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find.
Lieberman, Gerald F.
A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.
Clarke, James Freeman
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Russell, Dora
A politician's words reveal less about what he thinks about his subject than what he thinks about his audience.
Will, George F.
I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat!
Rogers, Will
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
The house of Lords is a model on how to care for the elderly.
Field, Franklin
When the doctrine of allegiance to party can utterly up-end a man's moral constitution and make a temporary fool of him besides, what excuse are you going to offer for preaching it, teaching it, extending it, perpetuating it? Shall you say, the best good of the country demands allegiance to party? Shall you also say it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter, and become a mouthing lunatic, besides?
Twain, Mark
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
Political success is the ability, when the inevitable occurs, to get credit for it.
Peter, Laurence J.
Nothing can so alienate a voter from the political system as backing a winning candidate.
Mark B. Cohen
Successful democratic politicians are insecure and intimidated men. They advance politically only as they placate, appease, bribe, seduce, bamboozle, or otherwise manage to manipulate the demanding and threatening elements in their constituencies. The decisive consideration is not whether the proposition is good but whether it is popular -- not whether it will work well and prove itself but whether the active talking constituents like it immediately. Politicians rationalize this servitude by saying that in a democracy public men are the servants of the people.
Lippmann, Walter
The ordinary politician has a very low estimate of human nature. In his daily life he comes into contact chiefly with persons who want to get something or to avoid something. Beyond this circle of seekers after privileges, individuals and organized minorities, he is aware of a large unorganized, indifferent mass of citizens who ask nothing in particular and rarely complain. The politician comes after a while to think that the art of politics is to satisfy the seekers after favors and to mollify the inchoate mass with noble sentiments and patriotic phrases.
Lippmann, Walter
The apparent rulers of the English nation are like the imposing personages of a splendid procession: it is by them the mob are influenced; it is they whom the spectators cheer. The real rulers are secreted in second-rate carriages; no one cares for them or asks after them, but they are obeyed implicitly and unconsciously by reason of the splendor of those who eclipsed and preceded them.
Bagehot, Walter
Politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers
No party is as bad as its leaders.
Rogers, Will
If it's going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately.
Kissinger, Henry
Democrats can't get elected unless things get worse, and things won't get worse unless they get elected.
Kirkpatrick, Jeane
A politician divides mankind into two classes; tools and enemies.
Fredrich
A majority is always better than the best repartee.
Disraeli, Benjamin
If you're I politics and you can't tell when you walk into a room who's for you and who's against you, then you're in the wrong line of work.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Gaulle, Charles De
A politician is an ass upon which everyone has sat except a man.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
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
Politics is organized hatred, that is unity.
Chapman, John Jay
