Politics

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.

Best Quotes about Politics

1.

Auden, W. H.

2.
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.

Bonaparte, Napoleon

13.
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

14.
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

Brodie, Fawn M.

23.
You slam a politician, you make out he's the devil, with horns and hoofs. But his wife loves him, and so did all his mistresses.
Johnson, Pamela Hansford

24.
Sincerity and competence is a strong combination. In politics, it is everything.
Noonan, Peggy

25.
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.

You are pitiful isolated individuals; you are bankrupts; your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on -- into the dustbin of history!
Trotsky, Leon

27.
Let us not forget that we can never go farther than we can persuade at least half of the people to go.
Gaitskell, Hugh

28.

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

37.
If I was forced to choose between the penitentiary and White House for four years, I would say the penitentiary, thank you.
Sherman, William T.

38.
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

People start parades -- politicians just get out in front and act like they're leading.
Rinehart, Dana Gillman

Plato

50.
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.
