Politics

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
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
It takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead for fifteen years.
Truman, Harry S

2.
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle

3.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed [and Hence Clamorous To Be Led To Safety] by an endless series of hobgoblins.
Mencken, H. L.

4.
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.

5.
No party is as bad as its leaders.
Rogers, Will

6.
Politics is the profession of those who have neither trade nor art.
Hijazi, Muhammad

7.
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

8.
A politician's words reveal less about what he thinks about his subject than what he thinks about his audience.
Will, George F.

9.
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
Reagan, Ronald

10.
In the domain of Political Economy, free scientific inquiry meets not merely the same enemies as in all other domains. The peculiar nature of the material it deals with, summons as foes into the field of battle the most violent, mean and malignant passions of the human breast, the Furies of private interest.
Marx, Karl

11.
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.

12.
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Gaulle, Charles De

13.
Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.
Will, George F.

14.
It doesn't matter what I say as long as I sound different from other politicians.
Brown, Jerry

15.
Politics is about putting yourself in a state of grace.
Ashdown, Paddy

16.
Ninety percent of politics is deciding whom to blame.
Greenfield, Meg

17.
I played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Nixon, Richard M.

18.
Democrats can't get elected unless things get worse, and things won't get worse unless they get elected.
Kirkpatrick, Jeane

19.
Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.
Rogers, Will

20.
In politics, as on the sickbed, people toss from side to side, thinking they will be more comfortable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

21.
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Nixon, Richard M.

22.
Never answer a question from a farmer.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

23.
We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.
Benn, Tony

24.
We mean by politics the people's business -- the most important business there is.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

25.
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.

26.
A Whig is properly what is called a Trimmer -- that is, a coward to both sides of the question, who dare not be a knave nor an honest man, but is a sort of whiffing, shuffling, cunning, silly, contemptible, unmeaning negation of the two.
Hazlitt, William

27.
Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.
Gaulle, Charles De

28.
I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat!
Rogers, Will

29.
It is unfair to expect a politician to live in private up to the statements he makes in public.
Maugham, W. Somerset

30.
Politics has never been for the thin-skinned or the faint of heart, and if you enter the arena , you should expect to get roughed up. Moreover, Democracy in a nation of more than 300 million people is inherently difficult.
President Barack Obama

31.
The House of Lords is the British Outer Mongolia for retired politicians.
Benn, Tony

32.
This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.
Rogers, Will

33.
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.

34.
Politics is the art of the next best.
Bismarck, Otto Von

35.
At home you always have to be a politician. When you're abroad you almost feel yourself a statesman.
Macmillan, Harold

36.
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

37.
I don't care who does the electing as long as I get to do the nominating.
Tweed, Boss

38.
Yogi met George Bush during an election campaign. Bush said Texas was important. Yogi said Texas has a lot of electrical votes.
Berra, Yogi

39.
The most difficult choice a politician must ever make is whether to be a hypocrite or a liar.

40.
In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

41.
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

42.
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.

43.
Politics is the enemy of the imagination.
Mcewan, Ian

44.
There is no gambling like politics. Nothing in which the power of circumstance is more evident.
Disraeli, Benjamin

45.
The right man, in the right place, at the right time, can steal millions.
Nunn, Gregory

46.
One wanders to the left, another to the right. Both are equally in error, but, are seduced by different delusions.
Horace

47.
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

48.
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

49.
The diplomatic name for the law of the jungle.
Culbertson, Ely

50.
In Mexico an air conditioner is called a politician because it makes a lot of noise but doesn't work very well.
Deighton, Len
