Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
Politics is largely a matter of heart.
R. A. Butler

2.
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Rogers, Will

3.
The success of a party means little more than that the Nation is using the party for a large and definite purpose. It seeks to use and interpret a change in its own plans and point of view.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

4.
Until you've been in politics you've never really been alive; it's rough and sometimes it's dirty and it's always hard work and tedious details. But, it's the only sport for grown-ups all other games are for kids.

5.
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other.
Ameringer, Oscar

6.
The essential ingredient in politics is timing.
Trudeau, Pierre Elliott

7.
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities -- that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

8.
Honest statesmanship is the wise employment of individual meanness for the public good.
Lincoln, Abraham

9.
Nothing can so alienate a voter from the political system as backing a winning candidate.
Mark B. Cohen

10.
A political organization is a transferable commodity. You could not find a better way of killing virtue than by packing it into one of these contraptions which some gang of thieves is sure to find useful.
Chapman, John Jay

11.
Nothing is so abject and pathetic as a politician who has lost his job, save only a retired stud-horse.
Mencken, H. L.

12.
If we choose only to expose ourselves to opinions and viewpoints that are in line to our own, we become more polarized, more set in our own ways. It will only reinforce and deepen the political divides in our country. But if we choose to actively seek out information that challenges our assumptions and beliefs, perhaps we can begin to understand where the people who disagree with us are coming from.
President Barack Obama

13.
When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it, and I didn't inhale, and I never tried again.
Clinton, Bill

14.
A politician divides mankind into two classes; tools and enemies.
Fredrich

15.
Politicians -- power itself -- are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives. One should be grateful to the politicians for accepting the abstractness of power, and ridding others of its burden. This inevitably kills them but they get their revenge by passing onto others the corpse of power.
Baudrillard, Jean

16.
The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression.
French National Assembly

17.
Ninety percent of politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation.
Kissinger, Henry

18.
I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat!
Rogers, Will

19.
Politics is a choice of enemas. You're gonna get it up the ass, no matter what you do.
Higgins, George V.

20.
In Mexico an air conditioner is called a politician because it makes a lot of noise but doesn't work very well.
Deighton, Len

21.
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

22.
A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

23.
Sometimes in politics one must duel with skunks, but no one should be fool enough to allow skunks to choose the weapons.
Cannon, Joseph

24.
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Rogers, Will

25.
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.

26.
The two maxims of any great man at court are, always to keep his countenance and never to keep his work.
Swift, Jonathan

27.
Politics is about putting yourself in a state of grace.
Ashdown, Paddy

28.
When you've got them by their wallets, their hearts and minds will follow.
Naito, Fern

29.
A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself.
Disraeli, Benjamin

30.
As usual the Liberals offer a mixture of sound and original ideas. Unfortunately none of the sound ideas is original and none of the original ideas is sound.
Macmillan, Harold

31.
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

32.
In politics... shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

33.
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

34.
If you can't stand a little sacrifice and you can't stand a trip across the desert with limited water, we're never going to straighten this country out.
Perot, H. Ross

35.
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

36.
Ninety percent of politics is deciding whom to blame.
Greenfield, Meg

37.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Nathan, George Jean

38.
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

39.
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

40.
A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

41.
Politics is a blood sport.
Bevan, Aneurin

42.
There have been many great men that have flattered the people who never loved them.
Shakespeare, William

43.
He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party man.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

44.
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

45.
In politics, as on the sickbed, people toss from side to side, thinking they will be more comfortable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

46.
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.
Mitchell, George J.

47.
Any established village; could afford a town drunkard, a town atheist, and a few Democrats.
Brogan, Denis E.

48.
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

49.
When great questions end, little parties begin.
Bagehot, Walter

50.
Politics makes strange postmasters.
Hubbard, Kin
