Best Quotes about Politics

1.
The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.
Bevan, Aneurin

2.
A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

3.
Politician: From the Greek poly (many) and the French t?te (head or face, as in t?te-?-t?te: head to head or face to face). Hence
Pitt, Martin

4.
A promising young man should go into politics so that he can go on promising for the rest of his life.
Byrne, Robert

5.
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca

6.
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Nixon, Richard M.

7.
You have to have been a Republican to know how good it is to be a Democrat.
Onassis, Jacqueline Kennedy

8.
Most of us are conditioned for many years to have a political viewpoint -- Republican or Democratic, liberal, conservative, or moderate. The fact of the matter is that most of the problems that we now face are technical problems, are administrative problems. They are very sophisticated judgments, which do not lend themselves to the great sort of passionate movements which have stirred this country so often in the past. [They] deal with questions which are now beyond the comprehension of most men.
Kennedy, John F.

9.
The bright old day now dawns again; the cry runs through the land, in England there shall be dear bread -- in Ireland,sword and brand; and poverty, and ignorance, shall swell the rich and grand, so rally round the rulers with the gentle iron hand, of the fine old English Tory days; hail to the coming time!
Dickens, Charles

10.
I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Charles De Gaulle

11.
All politics takes place on a slippery slope. The most important four words in politics are up to a point.
Will, George F.

12.
It is my settled opinion, after some years as a political correspondent, that no one is attracted to a political career in the first place unless he is socially or emotionally crippled.
Waugh, Auberon

13.
You need to know that a member of Congress who refuses to allow the minimum wage to come up for a vote made more money during last year's one-month government shutdown than a minimum wage worker makes in an entire year.
Clinton, Bill

14.
The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day.
Roosevelt, Theodore

15.
Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them.
Paul Valery

16.
Politics is the enemy of the imagination.
Mcewan, Ian

17.
A politician is a man who understands government and it takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead for fifteen years.
Truman, Harry S

18.
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

19.
When the political columnists say'Every thinking man'they mean themselves, and when candidates appeal to'Every intelligent voter'they mean everybody who is going to vote for them.
Franklin P. Adams

20.
A candidate could easily commit political suicide if he were to come up with an unconventional thought during a presidential tour.
White, Elwyn Brooks

21.
Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.

22.
Nothing can so alienate a voter from the political system as backing a winning candidate.
Mark B. Cohen

23.
In politics, yesterday's lie is attacked only to flatter today's.
Rostand, Jean

24.
My life's work has been accomplished. I did all that I could.
Gorbachev, Mikhail

25.
In politics, an absurdity in public business is going into it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

26.
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle

27.
A politician would do well to remember that he has to live with his conscience longer than he does with his constituents.
Laird, Melvin R.

28.
The highest political buzz word is not liberty, equality, fraternity or solidarity; it is service.
Clough, Arthur Hugh

29.
To know your place is a good idea in politics. That is not to say stay in your place or hang on to your place, because ambition or boredom may dictate upward or downward mobility, but a sense of place -- a feel for one's own position in the control room -- is useful in gauging what you should try to do.
Safire, William

30.
It is unfair to expect a politician to live in private up to the statements he makes in public.
Maugham, W. Somerset

31.
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
Alfred E. Newman

32.
Politics makes strange postmasters.
Hubbard, Kin

33.
The politician is like an acrobat : he keeps his balance By saying the opposite of what he does.
Barres

34.
The word'politics'is derived from the word'poly', meaning'many', and the word'ticks', meaning'blood sucking parasites'.
Larry Hardiman

35.
I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life.
Blake, William

36.
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

37.
Ninety percent of politics is deciding whom to blame.
Greenfield, Meg

38.
It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president... except me.
Goldwater, Barry

39.
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

40.
Politics in the United States consists of the struggle between those whose change has been arrested by success or failure, on one side, and those who are still engaged in changing themselves, on the other. Agitators of arrested metamorphosis versus agitators of continued metamorphosis. The former have the advantage of numbers (since most people accept themselves as successes or failures quite early), the latter of vitality and visibility (since self-transformation, though it begins from within, with ideology, religion, drugs, tends to express itself publicly through costume and jargon).
Rosenberg, Harold

41.
The house of Lords is a model on how to care for the elderly.
Field, Franklin

42.
Politics is the profession of those who have neither trade nor art.
Hijazi, Muhammad

43.
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

44.
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

45.
Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working Americans. It is the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them.
Tomlin, Lily

46.
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

47.
Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.
Will, George F.

48.
Nobody is a friend of ours. Let's face it.
Nixon, Richard M.

49.
I always considered statesmen to be more expendable than soldiers.
Truman, Harry S

50.
Yogi met George Bush during an election campaign. Bush said Texas was important. Yogi said Texas has a lot of electrical votes.
Berra, Yogi
