Politics

Most people assume the fights are going to be the left versus the right, but it always is the reasonable versus the jerks.
- Jimmy Wales
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
Democrats can't get elected unless things get worse, and things won't get worse unless they get elected.
Kirkpatrick, Jeane

2.
A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

3.
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
Reagan, Ronald

4.
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

5.
It is unfair to expect a politician to live in private up to the statements he makes in public.
Maugham, W. Somerset

6.
Don't buy a single vote more than necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide.
Kennedy, Joseph

7.
A politician is one that would circumvent God.
Shakespeare, William

8.
When great questions end, little parties begin.
Bagehot, Walter

9.
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities -- that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

10.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

11.
Politics is made up largely of irrelevancies.
Dalton Camp

12.
Nothing is so abject and pathetic as a politician who has lost his job, save only a retired stud-horse.
Mencken, H. L.

13.
What do you want to be a sailor for? There are greater storms in politics than you will ever find at sea. Piracy, broadsides, blood on the decks. You will find them all in politics.
George, David Lloyd

14.
Any man with a fine shock of hair, a good set of teeth, and a bewitching smile can park his brains, if he has any, and run for public office.

15.
One can say that three pre-eminent qualities are decisive for the politician: passion, a feeling of responsibility, and a sense of proportion.
Weber, Max

16.
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

17.
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Rogers, Will

18.
Did you ever notice that when a politician does get an idea he usually gets it all wrong.
Marquis, Don

19.
This Party is a moral crusade or it is nothing.
Wilson, Harold

20.
Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others their principles for the sake of their party.
Churchill, Winston

21.
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

22.
I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Charles De Gaulle

23.
The diplomatic name for the law of the jungle.
Culbertson, Ely

24.
People who leave Washington do so by way of the box... ballet or coffin.
Pell, Claiborne

25.
A majority is always better than the best repartee.
Disraeli, Benjamin

26.
To know your place is a good idea in politics. That is not to say stay in your place or hang on to your place, because ambition or boredom may dictate upward or downward mobility, but a sense of place -- a feel for one's own position in the control room -- is useful in gauging what you should try to do.
Safire, William

27.
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

28.
No wonder that, when a political career is so precarious, men of worth and capacity hesitate to embrace it. They cannot afford to be thrown out of their life's course by a mere accident.
Bryce, James

29.
In politics people give you what they think you deserve and deny you what they think you want.
Parkinson, Cecil

30.
No political party has exclusive patent rights on prosperity.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

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.
If there is anything a public servant hates to do it is something for the public.
Hubbard, Kin

33.
Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

34.
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

35.
A political convention is not a place where you can come away with any trace of faith in human nature.
Kempton, Murray

36.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
Reagan, Ronald

37.
Politics is the profession of those who have neither trade nor art.
Hijazi, Muhammad

38.
He could not see a belt without hitting below it.
Asquith, Margot

39.
The highest political buzz word is not liberty, equality, fraternity or solidarity; it is service.
Clough, Arthur Hugh

40.
The heaviest penalty for deciding to engage in politics is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.
Plato

41.
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
Alfred E. Newman

42.
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

43.
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle

44.
The success of a party means little more than that the Nation is using the party for a large and definite purpose. It seeks to use and interpret a change in its own plans and point of view.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

45.
I always considered statesmen to be more expendable than soldiers.
Truman, Harry S

46.
There have been many great men that have flattered the people who never loved them.
Shakespeare, William

47.
Rome had Senators too, and that is why it declined.
Dane, Frank

48.
The politician is like an acrobat : he keeps his balance By saying the opposite of what he does.
Barres

49.
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

50.
The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practice politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.
Chapman, John Jay
