Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
In politics, an absurdity in public business is going into it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

2.
Politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers

3.
There is no more independence in politics than there is in jail.
Rogers, Will

4.
The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.
Bevan, Aneurin

5.
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

6.
I played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Nixon, Richard M.

7.
Ninety percent of politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation.
Kissinger, Henry

8.
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

9.
A candidate could easily commit political suicide if he were to come up with an unconventional thought during a presidential tour.
White, Elwyn Brooks

10.
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.
Mitchell, George J.

11.
Once you run for office, you're in it -- sort of like going into the military. You'd better be damned sure it is what you want to do and that the rest of your life is set up to accommodate that. It takes a certain toll on your personality and on your family life. I've seen it personally.
Kennedy Jr., John F.

12.
People start parades -- politicians just get out in front and act like they're leading.
Rinehart, Dana Gillman

13.
In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.
Churchill, Winston

14.
There are times in politics when you must be on the right side and lose.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

15.
In politics, as in life, we must above all things wish only for the attainable.
Heine, Heinrich

16.
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Russell, Dora

17.
The most successful politician is he who says what everybody is thinking most often and in the loudest voice.
Roosevelt, Theodore

18.
Those who corrupt the public mind are just as evil as those who steal from the public purse.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

19.
People say I'm indecisive, but I don't know about that.
Bush, George

20.
Nobody is a friend of ours. Let's face it.
Nixon, Richard M.

21.
It is unfair to expect a politician to live in private up to the statements he makes in public.
Maugham, W. Somerset

22.
Ninety percent of politics is deciding whom to blame.
Greenfield, Meg

23.
You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don't know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God's curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wives and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.
Henley, Anthony

24.
If a politician isn't doing it to his wife , then he's doing it to his country.
Grant, Amy

25.
It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.
Bacon, Francis

26.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Nathan, George Jean

27.
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Lester B. Pearson

28.
Politics is a blood sport.
Bevan, Aneurin

29.
The heaviest penalty for deciding to engage in politics is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.
Plato

30.
When great questions end, little parties begin.
Bagehot, Walter

31.
The two maxims of any great man at court are, always to keep his countenance and never to keep his work.
Swift, Jonathan

32.
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

33.
It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

34.
Politics will eventually be replaced by imagery. The politician will be only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image, because the image will be much more powerful than he could ever be.
Mcluhan, Marshall

35.
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.

36.
Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others their principles for the sake of their party.
Churchill, Winston

37.
It takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead for fifteen years.
Truman, Harry S

38.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
Eban, Abba

39.
Politics is about putting yourself in a state of grace.
Ashdown, Paddy

40.
Politics, n. Strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles.
Ambrose Bierce

41.
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

42.
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.

43.
I do not look for much to come out of government ownership as long as we have Democrats and Republicans.
Hubbard, Kin

44.
Nothing is so foolish, they say, as for a man to stand for office and woo the crowd to win its vote, buy its support with presents, court the applause of all those fools and feel self-satisfied when they cry their approval, and then in his hour of triumph to be carried round like an effigy for the public to stare at, and end up cast in bronze to stand in the market place.
Erasmus, Desiderius

45.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
Reagan, Ronald

46.
In politics the middle way is none at all.
Adams, John

47.
Within the first few months I discovered that being president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep riding or be swallowed.
Truman, Harry S

48.
Let us not forget that we can never go farther than we can persuade at least half of the people to go.
Gaitskell, Hugh

49.
The mistake a lot of politicians make is in forgetting they've been appointed and thinking they've been anointed.
Pepper, Claude D.

50.
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
