Best Quotes about Politics
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
In politics you must always keep running with the pack. The moment that you falter and they sense that you are injured, the rest will turn on you like wolves.
R. A. Butler
Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.
John Kenneth Galbraith
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
It doesn't matter what I say as long as I sound different from other politicians.
Brown, Jerry
Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.
Margaret Cho
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
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
People say I'm indecisive, but I don't know about that.
Bush, George
Politics will sooner or later make fools of everybody.
Armey, Dick
Never answer a question from a farmer.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
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
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.
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
The era of the political was one of anomie: crisis, violence, madness and revolution. The era of the trans-political is that of anomaly: an aberration of no consequence, contemporaneous with the event of no consequence.
Baudrillard, Jean
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
In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme.
Hattersley, Roy
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.
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.
In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.
Churchill, Winston
Politics is made up largely of irrelevancies.
Dalton Camp
When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.
Jefferson, Thomas
Politicians should never put themselves first: governments should put people first and all of us should put our country first.
The problem with political jokes is they get elected.
Henry Cate VII
It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find.
Lieberman, Gerald F.
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
A Whig is properly what is called a Trimmer -- that is, a coward to both sides of the question, who dare not be a knave nor an honest man, but is a sort of whiffing, shuffling, cunning, silly, contemptible, unmeaning negation of the two.
Hazlitt, William
The first mistake in public business is going into it.
Franklin, Benjamin
The word'politics'is derived from the word'poly', meaning'many', and the word'ticks', meaning'blood sucking parasites'.
Larry Hardiman
The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
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
What is a democrat? One who believes that the republicans have ruined the country. What is a republican? One who believes that the democrats would ruin the country.
Bierce, Ambrose
There is no gambling like politics. Nothing in which the power of circumstance is more evident.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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
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
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Russell, Dora
In politics, as on the sickbed, people toss from side to side, thinking they will be more comfortable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president... except me.
Goldwater, Barry
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
A politician is an ass upon which everyone has sat except a man.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
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
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
Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.
Gaulle, Charles De
My life's work has been accomplished. I did all that I could.
Gorbachev, Mikhail
Let us not forget that we can never go farther than we can persuade at least half of the people to go.
Gaitskell, Hugh
People who leave Washington do so by way of the box... ballet or coffin.
Pell, Claiborne
Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.
Disraeli, Benjamin
It is unfair to expect a politician to live in private up to the statements he makes in public.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
Quinton, John
No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.
Disraeli, Benjamin
