Politics

Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.
- Margaret Cho
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed [and Hence Clamorous To Be Led To Safety] by an endless series of hobgoblins.
Mencken, H. L.

2.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
Reagan, Ronald

3.
In politics, yesterday's lie is attacked only to flatter today's.
Rostand, Jean

4.
Political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.
Orwell, George

5.
One wanders to the left, another to the right. Both are equally in error, but, are seduced by different delusions.
Horace

6.
The first mistake in public business is going into it.
Franklin, Benjamin

7.
I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.
Byron, Lord

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.

11.
Sometimes in politics one must duel with skunks, but no one should be fool enough to allow skunks to choose the weapons.
Cannon, Joseph

12.
A liberal is a man who leaves a room when the fight begins.
Broun, Heywood

13.
Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others their principles for the sake of their party.
Churchill, Winston

14.
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities -- that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

15.
I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers; what I said was all saloonkeepers are Democrats.
Greeley, Horace

16.
People who leave Washington do so by way of the box... ballet or coffin.
Pell, Claiborne

17.
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

18.
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

19.
A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.
Clarke, James Freeman

20.
In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

21.
Politics is the enemy of the imagination.
Mcewan, Ian

22.
The belief that politics can be scientific must inevitably produce tyrannies. Politics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation. Empirical politics must be kept in bounds by democratic institutions, which leave it up to the subjects of the experiment to say whether it shall be tried, and to stop it if they dislike it, because, in politics, there is a distinction, unknown to science, between Truth and Justice.
Auden, W. H.

23.
There is no gambling like politics. Nothing in which the power of circumstance is more evident.
Disraeli, Benjamin

24.
Politics is largely a matter of heart.
R. A. Butler

25.
Politics are for foreigners with their endless wrongs and paltry rights. Politics are a lousy way to get things done. Politics are, like God's infinite mercy, a last resort.
O'Rourke, P. J.

26.
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

27.
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
Quinton, John

28.
There is an increasingly pervasive sense not only of failure, but of futility. The legislative process has become a cruel shell game and the service system has become a bureaucratic maze, inefficient, incomprehensible, and inaccessible.
Richardson, Elliot

29.
Politics are such a torment that I would advise every one I love not to mix with them.
Jefferson, Thomas

30.
In politics a straight line is the shortest distance to disaster.
Roche, John P.

31.
The abjection of our political situation is the only true challenge today. Only facing up to this situation in all its desperation can help us get out of it.
Baudrillard, Jean

32.
When great questions end, little parties begin.
Bagehot, Walter

33.
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

34.
A politician would do well to remember that he has to live with his conscience longer than he does with his constituents.
Laird, Melvin R.

35.
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Rogers, Will

36.
A politician is an ass upon which everyone has sat except a man.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

37.
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

38.
In politics we presume that everyone who knows how to get votes knows how to administer a city or a state. When we are ill... we do not ask for the handsomest physician, or the most eloquent one.
Plato

39.
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

40.
Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.
Huxley, Aldous

41.
Ninety percent of politics is deciding whom to blame.
Greenfield, Meg

42.
I don't care who does the electing as long as I get to do the nominating.
Tweed, Boss

43.
Politicians say they're beefing up our economy. Most don't know beef from pork.
Lowman, Hariold

44.
Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

45.
If there is anything a public servant hates to do it is something for the public.
Hubbard, Kin

46.
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

47.
When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.
Jefferson, Thomas

48.
What do you want to be a sailor for? There are greater storms in politics than you will ever find at sea. Piracy, broadsides, blood on the decks. You will find them all in politics.
George, David Lloyd

49.
It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
Carlyle, Thomas

50.
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Rogers, Will
