Politics

In politics... shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
- Tocqueville, Alexis De
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
A candidate could easily commit political suicide if he were to come up with an unconventional thought during a presidential tour.
White, Elwyn Brooks

2.
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

3.
Politics is organized hatred, that is unity.
Chapman, John Jay

4.
Political success is the ability, when the inevitable occurs, to get credit for it.
Peter, Laurence J.

5.
In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.
Churchill, Winston

6.
Politics is the enemy of the imagination.
Mcewan, Ian

7.
Only very intelligent people don't wish they were in politics, and I'm dumb enough to want to be in there.
Welles, Orson

8.
People with high ideals don't necessarily make good politicians. If clean politics is so important, we should leave the job to scientists and the clergy.
Watanabe, Michio

9.
You are pitiful isolated individuals; you are bankrupts; your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on -- into the dustbin of history!
Trotsky, Leon

10.
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

11.
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

12.
Politics and the fate of mankind are shaped by men without ideals and without greatness. Men who have greatness within them don't go in for politics.
Camus, Albert

13.
In Mexico an air conditioner is called a politician because it makes a lot of noise but doesn't work very well.
Deighton, Len

14.
Politics is the profession of those who have neither trade nor art.
Hijazi, Muhammad

15.
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

16.
The most successful politician is he who says what everybody is thinking most often and in the loudest voice.
Roosevelt, Theodore

17.
The mistake a lot of politicians make is in forgetting they've been appointed and thinking they've been anointed.
Pepper, Claude D.

18.
Nothing is irreparable in politics.
Anouilh, Jean

19.
If there is anything a public servant hates to do it is something for the public.
Hubbard, Kin

20.
This Party is a moral crusade or it is nothing.
Wilson, Harold

21.
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Lester B. Pearson

22.
All politics takes place on a slippery slope. The most important four words in politics are up to a point.
Will, George F.

23.
I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life.
Blake, William

24.
I don't care who does the electing as long as I get to do the nominating.
Tweed, Boss

25.
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

26.
Sometimes in politics one must duel with skunks, but no one should be fool enough to allow skunks to choose the weapons.
Cannon, Joseph

27.
It only takes a politician believing in what he says for the others to stop believing him.
Baudrillard, Jean

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 is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary.
Robert Louis Stevenson

30.
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
Cooper, James F.

31.
No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.
Disraeli, Benjamin

32.
Rome had Senators too, and that is why it declined.
Dane, Frank

33.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

34.
Nobody is a friend of ours. Let's face it.
Nixon, Richard M.

35.
People start parades -- politicians just get out in front and act like they're leading.
Rinehart, Dana Gillman

36.
The highest political buzz word is not liberty, equality, fraternity or solidarity; it is service.
Clough, Arthur Hugh

37.
People say I'm indecisive, but I don't know about that.
Bush, George

38.
A politician divides mankind into two classes; tools and enemies.
Fredrich

39.
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

40.
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

41.
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

42.
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca

43.
The word'politics'is derived from the word'poly', meaning'many', and the word'ticks', meaning'blood sucking parasites'.
Larry Hardiman

44.
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

45.
Political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.
Orwell, George

46.
In politics, as on the sickbed, people toss from side to side, thinking they will be more comfortable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

47.
The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practice politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.
Chapman, John Jay

48.
A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

49.
In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme.
Hattersley, Roy

50.
I always considered statesmen to be more expendable than soldiers.
Truman, Harry S
