Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.
Benn, Tony

2.
The essential ingredient in politics is timing.
Trudeau, Pierre Elliott

3.
In politics we presume that everyone who knows how to get votes knows how to administer a city or a state. When we are ill... we do not ask for the handsomest physician, or the most eloquent one.
Plato

4.
The two maxims of any great man at court are, always to keep his countenance and never to keep his work.
Swift, Jonathan

5.
It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.
Bacon, Francis

6.
Within the first few months I discovered that being president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep riding or be swallowed.
Truman, Harry S

7.
Sometimes in politics one must duel with skunks, but no one should be fool enough to allow skunks to choose the weapons.
Cannon, Joseph

8.
You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don't know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God's curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wives and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.
Henley, Anthony

9.
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

10.
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

11.
This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.
Rogers, Will

12.
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Langley, Edward

13.
Politics are now nothing more than means of rising in the world. With this sole view do men engage in politics, and their whole conduct proceeds upon it.
Johnson, Samuel

14.
The most successful politician is he who says what everybody is thinking most often and in the loudest voice.
Roosevelt, Theodore

15.
A Whig is properly what is called a Trimmer -- that is, a coward to both sides of the question, who dare not be a knave nor an honest man, but is a sort of whiffing, shuffling, cunning, silly, contemptible, unmeaning negation of the two.
Hazlitt, William

16.
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

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.
If a politician isn't doing it to his wife , then he's doing it to his country.
Grant, Amy

19.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Nathan, George Jean

20.
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

21.
There is no sea more dangerous than the ocean of practical politics -- none in which there is more need of good pilots and of a single, unfaltering purpose when the waves rise high.
Huxley, Thomas H.

22.
The word'politics'is derived from the word'poly', meaning'many', and the word'ticks', meaning'blood sucking parasites'.
Larry Hardiman

23.
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.

24.
A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

25.
We mean by politics the people's business -- the most important business there is.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

26.
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

27.
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Gaulle, Charles De

28.
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

29.
Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

30.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

31.
Politics in the United States consists of the struggle between those whose change has been arrested by success or failure, on one side, and those who are still engaged in changing themselves, on the other. Agitators of arrested metamorphosis versus agitators of continued metamorphosis. The former have the advantage of numbers (since most people accept themselves as successes or failures quite early), the latter of vitality and visibility (since self-transformation, though it begins from within, with ideology, religion, drugs, tends to express itself publicly through costume and jargon).
Rosenberg, Harold

32.
Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary.
Robert Louis Stevenson

33.
I hope the two wings of the Democratic Party may flap together.
Bryan, William Jennings

34.
You need to know that a member of Congress who refuses to allow the minimum wage to come up for a vote made more money during last year's one-month government shutdown than a minimum wage worker makes in an entire year.
Clinton, Bill

35.
It only takes a politician believing in what he says for the others to stop believing him.
Baudrillard, Jean

36.
Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul -- politics does the same thing for the body.
Cary, Joyce

37.
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

38.
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

39.
The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.
Bevan, Aneurin

40.
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
Ephron, Nora

41.
In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme.
Hattersley, Roy

42.
Honest statesmanship is the wise employment of individual meanness for the public good.
Lincoln, Abraham

43.
In politics, as in life, we must above all things wish only for the attainable.
Heine, Heinrich

44.
There have been many great men that have flattered the people who never loved them.
Shakespeare, William

45.
Politics is largely a matter of heart.
R. A. Butler

46.
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

47.
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

48.
This Party is a moral crusade or it is nothing.
Wilson, Harold

49.
It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president... except me.
Goldwater, Barry

50.
Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.
John Kenneth Galbraith
