Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
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

2.
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

3.
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

4.
To know your place is a good idea in politics. That is not to say stay in your place or hang on to your place, because ambition or boredom may dictate upward or downward mobility, but a sense of place -- a feel for one's own position in the control room -- is useful in gauging what you should try to do.
Safire, William

5.
Let us not forget that we can never go farther than we can persuade at least half of the people to go.
Gaitskell, Hugh

6.
A political convention is not a place where you can come away with any trace of faith in human nature.
Kempton, Murray

7.
I do not look for much to come out of government ownership as long as we have Democrats and Republicans.
Hubbard, Kin

8.
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

9.
When great questions end, little parties begin.
Bagehot, Walter

10.
A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life.
Mill, John Stuart

11.
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.

12.
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.

13.
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Russell, Dora

14.
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.
Mitchell, George J.

15.
Many politicians lay it down as a self-evident proposition, that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story, who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
Macaulay, Lord

16.
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

17.
If you're I politics and you can't tell when you walk into a room who's for you and who's against you, then you're in the wrong line of work.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

18.
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
Quinton, John

19.
What we need in appointive positions are men of knowledge and experience with sufficient character to resist temptations.
Coolidge, Calvin

20.
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

21.
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

22.
People start parades -- politicians just get out in front and act like they're leading.
Rinehart, Dana Gillman

23.
In politics, an absurdity in public business is going into it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

24.
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
Ephron, Nora

25.
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

26.
It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.
Bacon, Francis

27.
What this country needs is radicals who will stay that way regardless of the creeping years.
Fischer, John

28.
Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident -- the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.
Banfield, Edward C.

29.
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Lester B. Pearson

30.
No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.
Disraeli, Benjamin

31.
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

32.
One wanders to the left, another to the right. Both are equally in error, but, are seduced by different delusions.
Horace

33.
In politics the middle way is none at all.
Adams, John

34.
Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul -- politics does the same thing for the body.
Cary, Joyce

35.
In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.
Churchill, Winston

36.
The House of Lords is the British Outer Mongolia for retired politicians.
Benn, Tony

37.
Politics is the enemy of the imagination.
Mcewan, Ian

38.
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

39.
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

40.
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.

41.
A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

42.
Politics is a place of humble hopes and strangely modest requirements, where all are good who are not criminal and all are wise who are not ridiculously otherwise.
Colby, Frank Moore

43.
The mistake a lot of politicians make is in forgetting they've been appointed and thinking they've been anointed.
Pepper, Claude D.

44.
Politics makes strange postmasters.
Hubbard, Kin

45.
There have been many great men that have flattered the people who never loved them.
Shakespeare, William

46.
In politics a straight line is the shortest distance to disaster.
Roche, John P.

47.
When you've got them by their wallets, their hearts and minds will follow.
Naito, Fern

48.
Politics is the art of the next best.
Bismarck, Otto Von

49.
I don't care who does the electing as long as I get to do the nominating.
Tweed, Boss

50.
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
