Ignorance makes most men go into a political party, and shame keeps them from getting out of it.
- Halifax, Edward F.

Best Quotes about Politics

1.
Hell hath no fury like a crooked politician denied his cut.
Montalbano, Benjamin J.

2.
When we got into office, the thing that surprised me most was to find that things were just as bad as we'd been saying they were.
Kennedy, John F.

3.
It is far easier for the proverbial camel to pass through the needle's eye, hump and all, than for an erstwhile colonial administration to give sound and honest counsel of a political nature to its liberated territory.
Nkrumah, Kwame

4.
Political success is the ability, when the inevitable occurs, to get credit for it.
Peter, Laurence J.

5.
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

6.
When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.
Jefferson, Thomas

7.
Rome had Senators too, and that is why it declined.
Dane, Frank

8.
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
Ephron, Nora

9.
Politics are almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
Churchill, Winston

10.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.
Ernest Benn

11.
The ordinary politician has a very low estimate of human nature. In his daily life he comes into contact chiefly with persons who want to get something or to avoid something. Beyond this circle of seekers after privileges, individuals and organized minorities, he is aware of a large unorganized, indifferent mass of citizens who ask nothing in particular and rarely complain. The politician comes after a while to think that the art of politics is to satisfy the seekers after favors and to mollify the inchoate mass with noble sentiments and patriotic phrases.
Lippmann, Walter

12.
The Tories in England had long imagined that they were enthusiastic about the monarchy, the church and beauties of the old English Constitution, until the day of danger wrung from them the confession that they are enthusiastic only about rent.
Marx, Karl

13.
Ninety percent of politics is deciding whom to blame.
Greenfield, Meg

14.
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.

15.
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
Alfred E. Newman

16.
One thing about a pig, he thinks he's warm if his nose is warm. I saw a bunch of pigs one time that had frozen together in a rosette, each one's nose tucked under the rump of the one in front. We have a lot of pigs in politics.
Mccarthy, Eugene J.

17.
We are the trade union for pensioners and children, the trade union for the disabled and the sick... the trade union for the nation as a whole.
Heath, Edward

18.
A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

19.
An empty stomach is not a good political advisor.
Einstein, Albert

20.
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
Cooper, James F.

21.
I always considered statesmen to be more expendable than soldiers.
Truman, Harry S

22.
In Mexico an air conditioner is called a politician because it makes a lot of noise but doesn't work very well.
Deighton, Len

23.
The only way you can do that [Balance The Budget, Decrease Taxes, and Increase Military Spending] is with mirrors, and that's what it would take.
Anderson, John B.

24.
Politics is a profession where the paths of glory lead but to the gravy.
Franklin, Billy Boy

25.
The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

26.
A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

27.
Sincerity and competence is a strong combination. In politics, it is everything.
Noonan, Peggy

28.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
Eban, Abba

29.
Growing older, I have lost the need to be political, which means, in this country, the need to be left. I am driven into grudging toleration of the Conservative Party because it is the party of non-politics, of resistance to politics.
Amis, Kingsley

30.
If American politics does not look to you like a joke, a tragic dance; if you have enough blindness left in you, on any plea, on any excuse, to vote for the Democratic Party or the Republican Party (for at present machine and party are one), or for any candidate who does not stand for a new era, -- then you yourself pass into the slide of the magic-lantern; you are an exhibit, a quaint product, a curiosity of the American soil. You are part of the problem.
Chapman, John Jay

31.
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Nixon, Richard M.

32.
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

33.
Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul -- politics does the same thing for the body.
Cary, Joyce

34.
It doesn't matter what I say as long as I sound different from other politicians.
Brown, Jerry

35.
Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.
Rogers, Will

36.
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

37.
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

38.
Nothing is irreparable in politics.
Anouilh, Jean

39.
A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

40.
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

41.
Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.
Margaret Cho

42.
My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.
Jackson, Jesse

43.
In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.
Churchill, Winston

44.
The essential ingredient in politics is timing.
Trudeau, Pierre Elliott

45.
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

46.
No party is as bad as its leaders.
Rogers, Will

47.
Nobody is a friend of ours. Let's face it.
Nixon, Richard M.

48.
Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

49.
The news of any politician's death should be listed under Public Improvements.
Dane, Frank

50.
Political organizations have slowly substituted themselves for the Churches as the places for believing practices. Politics has once again become religious.
Certeau, Michel De
