Politics

Politic is going to be diluted down into a ten second window, where you whack the guy as hard as you can and then get out there.
- Dixon, Alan
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life.
Mill, John Stuart

2.
Democrats can't get elected unless things get worse, and things won't get worse unless they get elected.
Kirkpatrick, Jeane

3.
In politics... shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

4.
Political image is like mixing cement. When it's wet, you can move it around and shape it, but at some point it hardens and there's almost nothing you can do to reshape it.
Mondale, Walter F.

5.
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

6.
Until you've been in politics you've never really been alive; it's rough and sometimes it's dirty and it's always hard work and tedious details. But, it's the only sport for grown-ups all other games are for kids.

7.
People with high ideals don't necessarily make good politicians. If clean politics is so important, we should leave the job to scientists and the clergy.
Watanabe, Michio

8.
The politician is like an acrobat : he keeps his balance By saying the opposite of what he does.
Barres

9.
Honest statesmanship is the wise employment of individual meanness for the public good.
Lincoln, Abraham

10.
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

11.
Politics is far more complicated than physics.
Einstein, Albert

12.
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
Cooper, James F.

13.
Circumstances give in reality to every political principle its distinguishing color and discriminating effect. The circumstances are what render every civil and political scheme beneficial or noxious to mankind.
Burke, Edmund

14.
I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.
Byron, Lord

15.
Politics are such a torment that I would advise every one I love not to mix with them.
Jefferson, Thomas

16.
Son, in politics you've got to learn that overnight chicken shit can turn to chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

17.
Hell hath no fury like a crooked politician denied his cut.
Montalbano, Benjamin J.

18.
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

19.
Politics are for foreigners with their endless wrongs and paltry rights. Politics are a lousy way to get things done. Politics are, like God's infinite mercy, a last resort.
O'Rourke, P. J.

20.
Political organizations have slowly substituted themselves for the Churches as the places for believing practices. Politics has once again become religious.
Certeau, Michel De

21.
Nothing can be said about our politics that has not already been said about hemorrhoids.

22.
It doesn't matter what I say as long as I sound different from other politicians.
Brown, Jerry

23.
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.

24.
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
Alfred E. Newman

25.
If everybody in this town connected with politics had to leave town because of chasing women and drinking, you would have no government.
Goldwater, Barry

26.
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

27.
No wonder that, when a political career is so precarious, men of worth and capacity hesitate to embrace it. They cannot afford to be thrown out of their life's course by a mere accident.
Bryce, James

28.
Before we get too depressed about the state of our politics, let's remember our history. The great debates of the past, all stirred great passions. They all made somebody angry, and at least once led to a terrible war. What is amazing, is that despite all the conflict, our experiment in democracy has worked better than any form of government on earth.
President Barack Obama

29.
The greatest art of a politician is to render vice serviceable to the cause of virtue.
Bolingbroke, Henry

30.
Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul -- politics does the same thing for the body.
Cary, Joyce

31.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
Eban, Abba

32.
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

33.
A politician divides mankind into two classes; tools and enemies.
Fredrich

34.
The two maxims of any great man at court are, always to keep his countenance and never to keep his work.
Swift, Jonathan

35.
Did you ever notice that when a politician does get an idea he usually gets it all wrong.
Marquis, Don

36.
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.

37.
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

38.
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

39.
I don't care who does the electing as long as I get to do the nominating.
Tweed, Boss

40.
Only he has the calling for politics who is sure that he will not crumble when the world from his point of view is too stupid or base for what he wants to offer. Only he who in the face of all this can say In spite of all! has the calling for politics.
Weber, Max

41.
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

42.
Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures; there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen.
Noonan, Peggy

43.
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

44.
Whether elected or appointed he considers himself the Lord's anointed, and indeed the ointment lingers on him so thick you can't get your fingers on him.
Nash, Ogden

45.
A politician is an ass upon which everyone has sat except a man.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

46.
Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.
Rogers, Will

47.
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Russell, Dora

48.
A constitutional statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities.
Bagehot, Walter

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