Politics

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
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
Nobody is a friend of ours. Let's face it.
Nixon, Richard M.

2.
It takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead for fifteen years.
Truman, Harry S

3.
People who leave Washington do so by way of the box... ballet or coffin.
Pell, Claiborne

4.
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.

5.
In politics, yesterday's lie is attacked only to flatter today's.
Rostand, Jean

6.
Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.
Will, George F.

7.
A political organization is a transferable commodity. You could not find a better way of killing virtue than by packing it into one of these contraptions which some gang of thieves is sure to find useful.
Chapman, John Jay

8.
A political leader must keep looking over his shoulder all the time to see if the boys are still there. If they aren't still there, he's no longer a political leader.
Baruch, Bernard M.

9.
What the statesman is most anxious to produce is a certain moral character in his fellow citizens, namely a disposition to virtue and the performance of virtuous actions.
Aristotle

10.
In politics a straight line is the shortest distance to disaster.
Roche, John P.

11.
In politics the middle way is none at all.
Adams, John

12.
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

13.
Finality is not the language of politics.
Disraeli, Benjamin

14.
No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.
Disraeli, Benjamin

15.
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

16.
In politics... shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

17.
Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident -- the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.
Banfield, Edward C.

18.
A liberal is a man who leaves a room when the fight begins.
Broun, Heywood

19.
A political convention is not a place where you can come away with any trace of faith in human nature.
Kempton, Murray

20.
In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.
Churchill, Winston

21.
Politics is about putting yourself in a state of grace.
Ashdown, Paddy

22.
Yogi met George Bush during an election campaign. Bush said Texas was important. Yogi said Texas has a lot of electrical votes.
Berra, Yogi

23.
Politics are usually the executive expression of human immaturity.
Brittain, Vera

24.
All politics takes place on a slippery slope. The most important four words in politics are up to a point.
Will, George F.

25.
Heads of state are notoriously ill prepared for their mature careers; think of Adolf Hitler (landscape painter), Ho Chi Minh (seaman), and our own Ronald Reagan.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

26.
The right man, in the right place, at the right time, can steal millions.
Nunn, Gregory

27.
There is no gambling like politics. Nothing in which the power of circumstance is more evident.
Disraeli, Benjamin

28.
The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.
Bevan, Aneurin

29.
The first mistake in public business is going into it.
Franklin, Benjamin

30.
Every clique is a refuge for incompetence. It fosters corruption and disloyalty, it begets cowardice, and consequently is a burden upon and a drawback to the progress of the country. Its instincts and actions are those of the pack.
Chiang Kai-Shek, Madame

31.
The news of any politician's death should be listed under Public Improvements.
Dane, Frank

32.
Democrats can't get elected unless things get worse, and things won't get worse unless they get elected.
Kirkpatrick, Jeane

33.
Politics, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.
Adams, Henry Brooks

34.
The word'politics'is derived from the word'poly', meaning'many', and the word'ticks', meaning'blood sucking parasites'.
Larry Hardiman

35.
Nothing is so foolish, they say, as for a man to stand for office and woo the crowd to win its vote, buy its support with presents, court the applause of all those fools and feel self-satisfied when they cry their approval, and then in his hour of triumph to be carried round like an effigy for the public to stare at, and end up cast in bronze to stand in the market place.
Erasmus, Desiderius

36.
Politics is made up largely of irrelevancies.
Dalton Camp

37.
Politic is going to be diluted down into a ten second window, where you whack the guy as hard as you can and then get out there.
Dixon, Alan

38.
I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life.
Blake, William

39.
The belief that politics can be scientific must inevitably produce tyrannies. Politics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation. Empirical politics must be kept in bounds by democratic institutions, which leave it up to the subjects of the experiment to say whether it shall be tried, and to stop it if they dislike it, because, in politics, there is a distinction, unknown to science, between Truth and Justice.
Auden, W. H.

40.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

41.
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

42.
Politics is the gizzard of society, full of gut and gravel.
Thoreau, Henry David

43.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Nathan, George Jean

44.
Politics are for foreigners with their endless wrongs and paltry rights. Politics are a lousy way to get things done. Politics are, like God's infinite mercy, a last resort.
O'Rourke, P. J.

45.
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

46.
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

47.
A politician's words reveal less about what he thinks about his subject than what he thinks about his audience.
Will, George F.

48.
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

49.
In politics you must always keep running with the pack. The moment that you falter and they sense that you are injured, the rest will turn on you like wolves.
R. A. Butler

50.
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Nixon, Richard M.
