Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
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

2.
Politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers

3.
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

4.
When the doctrine of allegiance to party can utterly up-end a man's moral constitution and make a temporary fool of him besides, what excuse are you going to offer for preaching it, teaching it, extending it, perpetuating it? Shall you say, the best good of the country demands allegiance to party? Shall you also say it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter, and become a mouthing lunatic, besides?
Twain, Mark

5.
Politics will sooner or later make fools of everybody.
Armey, Dick

6.
In politics... shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

7.
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

8.
As in private life one differentiates between what a man thinks and says of himself and what he really is and does, so in historical struggles one must still more distinguish the language and the imaginary aspirations of parties from their real organism and their real interests, their conception of themselves from their reality.
Marx, Karl

9.
Politic is going to be diluted down into a ten second window, where you whack the guy as hard as you can and then get out there.
Dixon, Alan

10.
I hope the two wings of the Democratic Party may flap together.
Bryan, William Jennings

11.
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.

12.
The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don't acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

13.
Cant is always rather nauseating; but before we condemn political hypocrisy, let us remember that it is the tribute paid by men of leather to men of God, and that the acting of the part of someone better than oneself may actually commit one to a course of behavior perceptibly less evil than what would be normal and natural in an avowed cynic.
Huxley, Aldous

14.
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

15.
Yogi met George Bush during an election campaign. Bush said Texas was important. Yogi said Texas has a lot of electrical votes.
Berra, Yogi

16.
Politician: From the Greek poly (many) and the French t?te (head or face, as in t?te-?-t?te: head to head or face to face). Hence
Pitt, Martin

17.
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Russell, Dora

18.
Now, we deny not, but that politicians may sometimes abuse religion, and make it serve for the promoting of their own private interests and designs; which yet they could not do so well neither, were the thing itself a mere cheat and figment of their own, and had no reality at all in nature, nor anything solid at the bottom of it.
Cudworth, Ralph J.

19.
A promising young man should go into politics so that he can go on promising for the rest of his life.
Byrne, Robert

20.
Growing older, I have lost the need to be political, which means, in this country, the need to be left. I am driven into grudging toleration of the Conservative Party because it is the party of non-politics, of resistance to politics.
Amis, Kingsley

21.
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Langley, Edward

22.
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca

23.
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

24.
It is my settled opinion, after some years as a political correspondent, that no one is attracted to a political career in the first place unless he is socially or emotionally crippled.
Waugh, Auberon

25.
Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul -- politics does the same thing for the body.
Cary, Joyce

26.
In politics the choice is constantly between two evils.
Morley, John

27.
It is unfair to expect a politician to live in private up to the statements he makes in public.
Maugham, W. Somerset

28.
No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.
Disraeli, Benjamin

29.
It is far easier for the proverbial camel to pass through the needle's eye, hump and all, than for an erstwhile colonial administration to give sound and honest counsel of a political nature to its liberated territory.
Nkrumah, Kwame

30.
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

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does.
Marx, Groucho

34.
Politics are usually the executive expression of human immaturity.
Brittain, Vera

35.
There is no sea more dangerous than the ocean of practical politics -- none in which there is more need of good pilots and of a single, unfaltering purpose when the waves rise high.
Huxley, Thomas H.

36.
In order to remain true to oneself one ought to renounce one's party three times a day.
Rostand, Jean

37.
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

38.
Politics is the gizzard of society, full of gut and gravel.
Thoreau, Henry David

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.
Don't buy a single vote more than necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide.
Kennedy, Joseph

41.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
Eban, Abba

42.
The politician who never made a mistake never made a decision.
Major, John

43.
The right man, in the right place, at the right time, can steal millions.
Nunn, Gregory

44.
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
Cooper, James F.

45.
Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.
Rogers, Will

46.
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

47.
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Rogers, Will

48.
Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.
Gaulle, Charles De

49.
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

50.
Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.
John Kenneth Galbraith
