Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
Don't fall in love with politicians, they're all a disappointment. They can't help it, they just are.
Noonan, Peggy

2.
I played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Nixon, Richard M.

3.
Nothing is irreparable in politics.
Anouilh, Jean

4.
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.
Mitchell, George J.

5.
If it's going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately.
Kissinger, Henry

6.
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

7.
One wanders to the left, another to the right. Both are equally in error, but, are seduced by different delusions.
Horace

8.
Any man with a fine shock of hair, a good set of teeth, and a bewitching smile can park his brains, if he has any, and run for public office.

9.
Only he has the calling for politics who is sure that he will not crumble when the world from his point of view is too stupid or base for what he wants to offer. Only he who in the face of all this can say In spite of all! has the calling for politics.
Weber, Max

10.
In the school of political projectors, I was but ill entertained, the professors appearing, in my judgment, wholly out of their senses; which is a scene that never fails to make me melancholy. These unhappy people were proposing schemes for persuading monarchs to choose favorites upon the score of their wisdom, capacity, and virtue; of teaching ministers to consult the public good; of rewarding merit, great abilities, and eminent services, of instructing princes to know their true interest, by placing it on the same foundation with that of their people; of choosing for employment persons qualified to exercise them; with many other wild impossible chimeras, that never entered before into the heart of man to conceive; and confirmed in me the old observation, that there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth.
Swift, Jonathan

11.
Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

12.
When a leader is in the Democratic Party he is a boss, and when he is in the Republican Party he is a leader.
Truman, Harry S

13.
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

14.
Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them.
Paul Valery

15.
A politician will do anything to keep his job, even become a patriot.
Hearst, William Randolph

16.
There are no true friends in politics. We are all sharks circling, and waiting, for traces of blood to appear in the water.
Clark, Alan

17.
Rome had Senators too, and that is why it declined.
Dane, Frank

18.
In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme.
Hattersley, Roy

19.
Politics is like a race horse. A good jockey must know how to fall with the least possible damage.
Herriot, Edouard

20.
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

21.
A man who is a politician at forty is a statesman at three score and ten. It is at this age, when he would be too old to be a clerk or a gardener or a police-court magistrate, that he is ripe to govern a country.
Maugham, W. Somerset

22.
I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.
Thatcher, Margaret

23.
Any established village; could afford a town drunkard, a town atheist, and a few Democrats.
Brogan, Denis E.

24.
In politics... shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

25.
Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.
Rogers, Will

26.
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

27.
It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

28.
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

29.
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.

30.
The newspaper reader says: this party will ruin itself if it makes errors like this. My higher politics says: a party which makes errors like this is already finished -- it is no longer secure in its instincts.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

31.
Any 20 year-old who isn't a liberal doesn't have a heart, and any 40 year-old who isn't a conservative doesn't have a brain.
Churchill, Winston

32.
Politics is about putting yourself in a state of grace.
Ashdown, Paddy

33.
Politics are usually the executive expression of human immaturity.
Brittain, Vera

34.
Legislators: Rape their wives and do two years. Kill their children and do five years. Steal their money and kiss your ass goodbye.
Powell, L. R.

35.
No political party has exclusive patent rights on prosperity.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

36.
Nothing can so alienate a voter from the political system as backing a winning candidate.
Mark B. Cohen

37.
What this country needs is radicals who will stay that way regardless of the creeping years.
Fischer, John

38.
Politics are now nothing more than means of rising in the world. With this sole view do men engage in politics, and their whole conduct proceeds upon it.
Johnson, Samuel

39.
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Russell, Dora

40.
It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president... except me.
Goldwater, Barry

41.
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

42.
A majority is always better than the best repartee.
Disraeli, Benjamin

43.
Politics, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.
Adams, Henry Brooks

44.
Political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.
Orwell, George

45.
The news of any politician's death should be listed under Public Improvements.
Dane, Frank

46.
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

47.
The most difficult choice a politician must ever make is whether to be a hypocrite or a liar.

48.
Politics, when I am in it, it makes me sick.
Taft, William Howard

49.
In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.
Churchill, Winston

50.
The two-party system has given this country the war of Lyndon Johnson, the Watergate of Nixon, and the incompetence of Carter. Saying we should keep the two-party system simply because it is working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success because a few people survived on life-rafts.
Mccarthy, Eugene J.
