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



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
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

2.
The problem with political jokes is they get elected.
Henry Cate VII

3.
In politics people give you what they think you deserve and deny you what they think you want.
Parkinson, Cecil

4.
The lounge of the main hotel is full of jollity, with large comfortable men sitting in braces; the bar is packed with talkative intellectuals, full of witty disloyalties. The next week the main hotel is suddenly full of dinner-jackets and large hats. The girls are dressed as if for a weekend in the country. When one of the great men of the party comes through, the crowd edges respectfully away, murmuring loyal noises.
Sampson, Anthony

5.
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

6.
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

7.
A constitutional statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities.
Bagehot, Walter

8.
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

9.
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

10.
What in fact takes place in an election is that two hand picked candidates are propped up before the citizenry, each candidate having been selected by a very small group of politically active people. A minority of the people... then elects one of these hand picked people to rule itself and the majority.
Ringer, Robert J.

11.
Politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers

12.
Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does.
Marx, Groucho

13.
When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.
Jefferson, Thomas

14.
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Langley, Edward

15.
The heaviest penalty for deciding to engage in politics is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.
Plato

16.
The diplomatic name for the law of the jungle.
Culbertson, Ely

17.
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

18.
Once you run for office, you're in it -- sort of like going into the military. You'd better be damned sure it is what you want to do and that the rest of your life is set up to accommodate that. It takes a certain toll on your personality and on your family life. I've seen it personally.
Kennedy Jr., John F.

19.
Politicians say they're beefing up our economy. Most don't know beef from pork.
Lowman, Hariold

20.
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

21.
Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

22.
Ignorance makes most men go into a political party, and shame keeps them from getting out of it.
Halifax, Edward F.

23.
Honest statesmanship is the wise employment of individual meanness for the public good.
Lincoln, Abraham

24.
It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs.
Albert Einstein

25.
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
Ephron, Nora

26.
Politics has never been for the thin-skinned or the faint of heart, and if you enter the arena , you should expect to get roughed up. Moreover, Democracy in a nation of more than 300 million people is inherently difficult.
President Barack Obama

27.
Politics are such a torment that I would advise every one I love not to mix with them.
Jefferson, Thomas

28.
This Party is a moral crusade or it is nothing.
Wilson, Harold

29.
We mean by politics the people's business -- the most important business there is.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

30.
There are no true friends in politics. We are all sharks circling, and waiting, for traces of blood to appear in the water.
Clark, Alan

31.
Until you've been in politics you've never really been alive; it's rough and sometimes it's dirty and it's always hard work and tedious details. But, it's the only sport for grown-ups all other games are for kids.

32.
Politics, n. Strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles.
Ambrose Bierce

33.
Political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.
Orwell, George

34.
Few businessmen are capable of being in politics, they don't understand the democratic process, they have neither the tolerance or the depth it takes. Democracy isn't a business.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

35.
In order to remain true to oneself one ought to renounce one's party three times a day.
Rostand, Jean

36.
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.
Mitchell, George J.

37.
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Gaulle, Charles De

38.
One thing about a pig, he thinks he's warm if his nose is warm. I saw a bunch of pigs one time that had frozen together in a rosette, each one's nose tucked under the rump of the one in front. We have a lot of pigs in politics.
Mccarthy, Eugene J.

39.
My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.
Jackson, Jesse

40.
Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.
Huxley, Aldous

41.
It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
Carlyle, Thomas

42.
The word'politics'is derived from the word'poly', meaning'many', and the word'ticks', meaning'blood sucking parasites'.
Larry Hardiman

43.
Let us not forget that we can never go farther than we can persuade at least half of the people to go.
Gaitskell, Hugh

44.
Yogi met George Bush during an election campaign. Bush said Texas was important. Yogi said Texas has a lot of electrical votes.
Berra, Yogi

45.
Away with the cant of Measures, not men! -- the idle supposition that it is the harness and not the horses that draw the chariot along. No, Sir, if the comparison must be made, if the distinction must be taken, men are everything, measures comparatively nothing.
Canning, George

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.
The first mistake in public business is going into it.
Franklin, Benjamin

48.
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

49.
The chief element in the art of statesmanship under modern conditions is the ability to elucidate the confused and clamorous interests which converge upon the seat of government. It is an ability to penetrate from the na?ve self-interest of each group to its permanent and real interest. Statesmanship consists in giving the people not what they want but what they will learn to want.
Lippmann, Walter

50.
In politics the choice is constantly between two evils.
Morley, John
