Politics

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

Best Quotes about Politics

1.
Ninety percent of politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation.
Kissinger, Henry

2.
Most of us are conditioned for many years to have a political viewpoint -- Republican or Democratic, liberal, conservative, or moderate. The fact of the matter is that most of the problems that we now face are technical problems, are administrative problems. They are very sophisticated judgments, which do not lend themselves to the great sort of passionate movements which have stirred this country so often in the past. [They] deal with questions which are now beyond the comprehension of most men.
Kennedy, John F.

3.
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.
Mitchell, George J.

4.
To speak on without saying anything has always been the greatest gift of orators.
Platen

5.
Sincerity and competence is a strong combination. In politics, it is everything.
Noonan, Peggy

6.
The house of Lords is a model on how to care for the elderly.
Field, Franklin

7.
When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.
Jefferson, Thomas

8.
Politics is a blood sport.
Bevan, Aneurin

9.
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

10.
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Rogers, Will

11.
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

12.
Within the first few months I discovered that being president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep riding or be swallowed.
Truman, Harry S

13.
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca

14.
In Mexico an air conditioner is called a politician because it makes a lot of noise but doesn't work very well.
Deighton, Len

15.
Whether elected or appointed he considers himself the Lord's anointed, and indeed the ointment lingers on him so thick you can't get your fingers on him.
Nash, Ogden

16.
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.

17.
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
Alfred E. Newman

18.
The success of a party means little more than that the Nation is using the party for a large and definite purpose. It seeks to use and interpret a change in its own plans and point of view.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

19.
A political convention is not a place where you can come away with any trace of faith in human nature.
Kempton, Murray

20.
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle

21.
A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

22.
The highest political buzz word is not liberty, equality, fraternity or solidarity; it is service.
Clough, Arthur Hugh

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others their principles for the sake of their party.
Churchill, Winston

26.
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

27.
Before we get too depressed about the state of our politics, let's remember our history. The great debates of the past, all stirred great passions. They all made somebody angry, and at least once led to a terrible war. What is amazing, is that despite all the conflict, our experiment in democracy has worked better than any form of government on earth.
President Barack Obama

28.
In politics the choice is constantly between two evils.
Morley, John

29.
Politics is the profession of those who have neither trade nor art.
Hijazi, Muhammad

30.
It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
Carlyle, Thomas

31.
Politics is like a race horse. A good jockey must know how to fall with the least possible damage.
Herriot, Edouard

32.
When the political columnists say'Every thinking man'they mean themselves, and when candidates appeal to'Every intelligent voter'they mean everybody who is going to vote for them.
Franklin P. Adams

33.
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

34.
The politician is like an acrobat : he keeps his balance By saying the opposite of what he does.
Barres

35.
I adore political parties. They are the only place left to us where people don't talk politics.
Wilde, Oscar

36.
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Lester B. Pearson

37.
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

38.
A constitutional statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities.
Bagehot, Walter

39.
In politics, an absurdity in public business is going into it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

40.

Legislators: Rape their wives and do two years. Kill their children and do five years. Steal their money and kiss your ass goodbye.

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

43.
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

44.
In politics people give you what they think you deserve and deny you what they think you want.
Parkinson, Cecil

45.
Those who corrupt the public mind are just as evil as those who steal from the public purse.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

46.
In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

47.
Politics is a profession where the paths of glory lead but to the gravy.
Franklin, Billy Boy

48.
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.

49.
Did you ever notice that when a politician does get an idea he usually gets it all wrong.
Marquis, Don

50.
