Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
A politician divides mankind into two classes; tools and enemies.
Fredrich

2.
Politicians -- power itself -- are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives. One should be grateful to the politicians for accepting the abstractness of power, and ridding others of its burden. This inevitably kills them but they get their revenge by passing onto others the corpse of power.
Baudrillard, Jean

3.
In politics the middle way is none at all.
Adams, John

4.
Let me just tell you how thrilling it really is, and how, what a challenge it is, because in 1988 the question is whether we're going forward to tomorrow or whether we're going to go past to the back!
Quayle, Dan

5.
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

6.
Don't fall in love with politicians, they're all a disappointment. They can't help it, they just are.
Noonan, Peggy

7.
Politicians should never put themselves first: governments should put people first and all of us should put our country first.

8.
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

9.
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

10.
The highest political buzz word is not liberty, equality, fraternity or solidarity; it is service.
Clough, Arthur Hugh

11.
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

12.
The greatest art of a politician is to render vice serviceable to the cause of virtue.
Bolingbroke, Henry

13.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
Reagan, Ronald

14.
Nothing can be said about our politics that has not already been said about hemorrhoids.

15.
The ordinary politician has a very low estimate of human nature. In his daily life he comes into contact chiefly with persons who want to get something or to avoid something. Beyond this circle of seekers after privileges, individuals and organized minorities, he is aware of a large unorganized, indifferent mass of citizens who ask nothing in particular and rarely complain. The politician comes after a while to think that the art of politics is to satisfy the seekers after favors and to mollify the inchoate mass with noble sentiments and patriotic phrases.
Lippmann, Walter

16.
I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat!
Rogers, Will

17.
Politics is made up largely of irrelevancies.
Dalton Camp

18.
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

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

20.
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

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

22.
Any man with a fine shock of hair, a good set of teeth, and a bewitching smile can park his brains, if he has any, and run for public office.

23.
The heaviest penalty for deciding to engage in politics is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.
Plato

24.
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle

25.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

26.
Ignorance makes most men go into a political party, and shame keeps them from getting out of it.
Halifax, Edward F.

27.
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other.
Ameringer, Oscar

28.
Politicians say they're beefing up our economy. Most don't know beef from pork.
Lowman, Hariold

29.
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

30.
What we need in appointive positions are men of knowledge and experience with sufficient character to resist temptations.
Coolidge, Calvin

31.
I do not deny that there may be other well-founded causes for the hatred which various classes feel toward politicians, but the main one seems to me that politicians are symbols of the fact that every class must take every other class into account.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

32.
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
Quinton, John

33.
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

34.
In politics... shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

35.
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca

36.
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.

37.
The word'politics'is derived from the word'poly', meaning'many', and the word'ticks', meaning'blood sucking parasites'.
Larry Hardiman

38.
Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working Americans. It is the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them.
Tomlin, Lily

39.
The diplomatic name for the law of the jungle.
Culbertson, Ely

40.
Politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers

41.
The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best.
Will Rogers

42.
He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party man.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

43.
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.

44.
He could not see a belt without hitting below it.
Asquith, Margot

45.
Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary.
Robert Louis Stevenson

46.
We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.
Benn, Tony

47.
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Lester B. Pearson

48.
Sometimes in politics one must duel with skunks, but no one should be fool enough to allow skunks to choose the weapons.
Cannon, Joseph

49.
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

50.
Ninety percent of politics is deciding whom to blame.
Greenfield, Meg
