Politics

Heads of state are notoriously ill prepared for their mature careers; think of Adolf Hitler (landscape painter), Ho Chi Minh (seaman), and our own Ronald Reagan.
- Ehrenreich, Barbara
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
Quinton, John

2.
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

3.
Politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers

4.
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

5.
Let us not forget that we can never go farther than we can persuade at least half of the people to go.
Gaitskell, Hugh

6.
A politician divides mankind into two classes; tools and enemies.
Fredrich

7.
Politics will sooner or later make fools of everybody.
Armey, Dick

8.
In politics, as on the sickbed, people toss from side to side, thinking they will be more comfortable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

9.
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
Alfred E. Newman

10.
Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.

11.
Politics is a place of humble hopes and strangely modest requirements, where all are good who are not criminal and all are wise who are not ridiculously otherwise.
Colby, Frank Moore

12.
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

13.
Nothing can be said about our politics that has not already been said about hemorrhoids.

14.
The lounge of the main hotel is full of jollity, with large comfortable men sitting in braces; the bar is packed with talkative intellectuals, full of witty disloyalties. The next week the main hotel is suddenly full of dinner-jackets and large hats. The girls are dressed as if for a weekend in the country. When one of the great men of the party comes through, the crowd edges respectfully away, murmuring loyal noises.
Sampson, Anthony

15.
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Rogers, Will

16.
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.

17.
My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.
Jackson, Jesse

18.
Politics is far more complicated than physics.
Einstein, Albert

19.
The news of any politician's death should be listed under Public Improvements.
Dane, Frank

20.
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

21.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

22.
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

23.
In politics the middle way is none at all.
Adams, John

24.
The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression.
French National Assembly

25.
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

26.
In politics, as in life, we must above all things wish only for the attainable.
Heine, Heinrich

27.
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

28.
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

29.
When they call the roll in the Senate, the senators do not know whether to answer present or not guilty.
Roosevelt, Theodore

30.
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

31.
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

32.
Son, in politics you've got to learn that overnight chicken shit can turn to chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

33.
Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others their principles for the sake of their party.
Churchill, Winston

34.
Now, we deny not, but that politicians may sometimes abuse religion, and make it serve for the promoting of their own private interests and designs; which yet they could not do so well neither, were the thing itself a mere cheat and figment of their own, and had no reality at all in nature, nor anything solid at the bottom of it.
Cudworth, Ralph J.

35.
I find myself... hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit, which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.
Pope, Alexander

36.
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca

37.
Nobody is a friend of ours. Let's face it.
Nixon, Richard M.

38.
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle

39.
Politics is a blood sport.
Bevan, Aneurin

40.
The essential ingredient in politics is timing.
Trudeau, Pierre Elliott

41.
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

42.
The two maxims of any great man at court are, always to keep his countenance and never to keep his work.
Swift, Jonathan

43.
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

44.
Cant is always rather nauseating; but before we condemn political hypocrisy, let us remember that it is the tribute paid by men of leather to men of God, and that the acting of the part of someone better than oneself may actually commit one to a course of behavior perceptibly less evil than what would be normal and natural in an avowed cynic.
Huxley, Aldous

45.
Politicians have the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterward to explain why it didn't happen.
Churchill, Winston

46.
There are two types of politicians: the ones that are courageous and honest, and the ones that have a steep career.
Kocher, Gerhard

47.
To speak on without saying anything has always been the greatest gift of orators.
Platen

48.
Politics is the art of the next best.
Bismarck, Otto Von

49.
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle

50.
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Langley, Edward
