- Truman, Harry S
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
The more you read and observe about this politics thing, the more you've got to admit that each party's worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best.
Rogers, Will

2.
In politics, an absurdity in public business is going into it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

3.
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

4.
In politics the middle way is none at all.
Adams, John

5.
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

6.
The newspaper reader says: this party will ruin itself if it makes errors like this. My higher politics says: a party which makes errors like this is already finished -- it is no longer secure in its instincts.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

7.
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

8.
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Rogers, Will

9.
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

10.
Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.
John Kenneth Galbraith

11.
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.

12.
In politics... shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

13.
A liberal is a man who leaves a room when the fight begins.
Broun, Heywood

14.
The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don't acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

15.
It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.
Bacon, Francis

16.
The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.
Bevan, Aneurin

17.
Nothing can be said about our politics that has not already been said about hemorrhoids.

18.
In argument, truth always prevails finally; in politics, falsehood always.
Landor, Walter Savage

19.
Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.
Margaret Cho

20.
Nothing is irreparable in politics.
Anouilh, Jean

21.
When you've got them by their wallets, their hearts and minds will follow.
Naito, Fern

22.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
Eban, Abba

23.
There have been many great men that have flattered the people who never loved them.
Shakespeare, William

24.
The diplomatic name for the law of the jungle.
Culbertson, Ely

25.
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.

26.
Ninety percent of politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation.
Kissinger, Henry

27.
At home you always have to be a politician. When you're abroad you almost feel yourself a statesman.
Macmillan, Harold

28.
When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.
Jefferson, Thomas

29.
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

30.
Politics is organized hatred, that is unity.
Chapman, John Jay

31.
Nothing is so abject and pathetic as a politician who has lost his job, save only a retired stud-horse.
Mencken, H. L.

32.
Politics makes strange postmasters.
Hubbard, Kin

33.
The essential ingredient in politics is timing.
Trudeau, Pierre Elliott

34.
If you can't stand a little sacrifice and you can't stand a trip across the desert with limited water, we're never going to straighten this country out.
Perot, H. Ross

35.
There is no gambling like politics. Nothing in which the power of circumstance is more evident.
Disraeli, Benjamin

36.
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

37.
In politics people give you what they think you deserve and deny you what they think you want.
Parkinson, Cecil

38.
Political organizations have slowly substituted themselves for the Churches as the places for believing practices. Politics has once again become religious.
Certeau, Michel De

39.
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Nixon, Richard M.

40.
Politics is far more complicated than physics.
Einstein, Albert

41.
The bright old day now dawns again; the cry runs through the land, in England there shall be dear bread -- in Ireland,sword and brand; and poverty, and ignorance, shall swell the rich and grand, so rally round the rulers with the gentle iron hand, of the fine old English Tory days; hail to the coming time!
Dickens, Charles

42.
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Rogers, Will

43.
He could not see a belt without hitting below it.
Asquith, Margot

44.
What is a democrat? One who believes that the republicans have ruined the country. What is a republican? One who believes that the democrats would ruin the country.
Bierce, Ambrose

45.
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

46.
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.
