Politics

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.

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

What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Langley, Edward

Did you ever notice that when a politician does get an idea he usually gets it all wrong.
Marquis, Don

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

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

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

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

People who leave Washington do so by way of the box... ballet or coffin.
Pell, Claiborne

A political convention is not a place where you can come away with any trace of faith in human nature.
Kempton, Murray

Ameringer, Oscar

13.
The Empress is legitimate, my cousin is Republican, Morny is Orleanist, I am a socialist; the only Bonapartist is Persigny, and he is mad.
Napoleon III

14.
It is unfair to expect a politician to live in private up to the statements he makes in public.
Maugham, W. Somerset

15.

Ashdown, Paddy

16.
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Rogers, Will

17.
Many politicians lay it down as a self-evident proposition, that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story, who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
Macaulay, Lord

18.
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle

19.
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

20.
The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.
Marx, Karl

21.
This Party is a moral crusade or it is nothing.
Wilson, Harold

If you're I politics and you can't tell when you walk into a room who's for you and who's against you, then you're in the wrong line of work.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

23.
You slam a politician, you make out he's the devil, with horns and hoofs. But his wife loves him, and so did all his mistresses.
Johnson, Pamela Hansford

24.
Hell hath no fury like a crooked politician denied his cut.
Montalbano, Benjamin J.

25.
Political image is like mixing cement. When it's wet, you can move it around and shape it, but at some point it hardens and there's almost nothing you can do to reshape it.
Mondale, Walter F.

26.
The diplomatic name for the law of the jungle.
Culbertson, Ely

27.
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.

28.
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

29.
A passion for politics stems usually from an insatiable need, either for power, or for friendship and adulation, or a combination of both.
Brodie, Fawn M.

30.
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Lester B. Pearson

31.
Politics can be relatively fair in the breathing spaces of history; at its critical turning points there is no other rule possible than the old one, that the end justifies the means.
Koestler, Arthur

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does.
Marx, Groucho

35.
When great questions end, little parties begin.
Bagehot, Walter

36.
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

37.
If everybody in this town connected with politics had to leave town because of chasing women and drinking, you would have no government.
Goldwater, Barry

38.
We assume that politicians are without honor. We read their statements trying to crack the code. The scandals of their politics: not so much that men in high places lie, only that they do so with such indifference, so endlessly, still expecting to be believed. We are accustomed to the contempt inherent in the political lie.
Rich, Adrienne

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

46.
I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Charles De Gaulle

47.
What in fact takes place in an election is that two hand picked candidates are propped up before the citizenry, each candidate having been selected by a very small group of politically active people. A minority of the people... then elects one of these hand picked people to rule itself and the majority.
Ringer, Robert J.

48.
Politics is the enemy of the imagination.
Mcewan, Ian

49.
Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

50.
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
