Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
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

2.
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

3.
Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them.
Paul Valery

4.
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

5.
Politics is like a race horse. A good jockey must know how to fall with the least possible damage.
Herriot, Edouard

6.
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Langley, Edward

7.
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Rogers, Will

8.
When a leader is in the Democratic Party he is a boss, and when he is in the Republican Party he is a leader.
Truman, Harry S

9.
In politics people give you what they think you deserve and deny you what they think you want.
Parkinson, Cecil

10.
In politics the choice is constantly between two evils.
Morley, John

11.
Nobody is a friend of ours. Let's face it.
Nixon, Richard M.

12.
Mediocrity in politics is not to be despised. Greatness is not needed.
Enzensberger, Hans Magnus

13.
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

14.
It is the eternal truth in the political as well as the mystical body, that, where one members suffers, all the members suffer with it.
Junius

15.
A politician is one that would circumvent God.
Shakespeare, William

16.
Did you ever notice that when a politician does get an idea he usually gets it all wrong.
Marquis, Don

17.
The problem with political jokes is they get elected.
Henry Cate VII

18.
The apparent rulers of the English nation are like the imposing personages of a splendid procession: it is by them the mob are influenced; it is they whom the spectators cheer. The real rulers are secreted in second-rate carriages; no one cares for them or asks after them, but they are obeyed implicitly and unconsciously by reason of the splendor of those who eclipsed and preceded them.
Bagehot, Walter

19.
Son, in politics you've got to learn that overnight chicken shit can turn to chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

20.
Honest statesmanship is the wise employment of individual meanness for the public good.
Lincoln, Abraham

21.
A constitutional statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities.
Bagehot, Walter

22.
The most successful politician is he who says what everybody is thinking most often and in the loudest voice.
Roosevelt, Theodore

23.
The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

24.
It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.
Bacon, Francis

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

26.
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.

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

28.
In order to remain true to oneself one ought to renounce one's party three times a day.
Rostand, Jean

29.
When great questions end, little parties begin.
Bagehot, Walter

30.
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
Alfred E. Newman

31.
I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers; what I said was all saloonkeepers are Democrats.
Greeley, Horace

32.
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
Ephron, Nora

33.
The house of Lords is a model on how to care for the elderly.
Field, Franklin

34.
In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme.
Hattersley, Roy

35.
Ignorance makes most men go into a political party, and shame keeps them from getting out of it.
Halifax, Edward F.

36.
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

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.
John Kenneth Galbraith

40.
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities -- that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

41.
An honest politician is one who when he is bought will stay bought.
Cameron, W. J.

42.
If it's going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately.
Kissinger, Henry

43.
A passion for politics stems usually from an insatiable need, either for power, or for friendship and adulation, or a combination of both.
Brodie, Fawn M.

44.
Politics is a profession where the paths of glory lead but to the gravy.
Franklin, Billy Boy

45.
If we choose only to expose ourselves to opinions and viewpoints that are in line to our own, we become more polarized, more set in our own ways. It will only reinforce and deepen the political divides in our country. But if we choose to actively seek out information that challenges our assumptions and beliefs, perhaps we can begin to understand where the people who disagree with us are coming from.
President Barack Obama

46.
In politics, yesterday's lie is attacked only to flatter today's.
Rostand, Jean

47.
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Gaulle, Charles De

48.
Politics, when I am in it, it makes me sick.
Taft, William Howard

49.
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

50.
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.
