Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

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

2.
A politician will do anything to keep his job, even become a patriot.
Hearst, William Randolph

3.
It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

4.
If it's going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately.
Kissinger, Henry

5.
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

6.
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

7.
A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself.
Disraeli, Benjamin

8.
Politics is the art of the next best.
Bismarck, Otto Von

9.
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Rogers, Will

10.
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

11.
When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.
Jefferson, Thomas

12.
There have been many great men that have flattered the people who never loved them.
Shakespeare, William

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Politics makes strange postmasters.
Hubbard, Kin

16.
All politics takes place on a slippery slope. The most important four words in politics are up to a point.
Will, George F.

17.
The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that position be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one's contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time.
Davis, Angela Y.

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

19.
The only way you can do that [Balance The Budget, Decrease Taxes, and Increase Military Spending] is with mirrors, and that's what it would take.
Anderson, John B.

20.
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

21.
When great questions end, little parties begin.
Bagehot, Walter

22.
Democrats can't get elected unless things get worse, and things won't get worse unless they get elected.
Kirkpatrick, Jeane

23.
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Russell, Dora

24.
It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
Carlyle, Thomas

25.
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.
Mitchell, George J.

26.
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
Cooper, James F.

27.
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

28.
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle

29.
Cant is always rather nauseating; but before we condemn political hypocrisy, let us remember that it is the tribute paid by men of leather to men of God, and that the acting of the part of someone better than oneself may actually commit one to a course of behavior perceptibly less evil than what would be normal and natural in an avowed cynic.
Huxley, Aldous

30.
A promising young man should go into politics so that he can go on promising for the rest of his life.
Byrne, Robert

31.
As in private life one differentiates between what a man thinks and says of himself and what he really is and does, so in historical struggles one must still more distinguish the language and the imaginary aspirations of parties from their real organism and their real interests, their conception of themselves from their reality.
Marx, Karl

32.
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

33.
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

34.
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Langley, Edward

35.
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

36.
A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

37.
A politician divides mankind into two classes; tools and enemies.
Fredrich

38.
When the political columnists say'Every thinking man'they mean themselves, and when candidates appeal to'Every intelligent voter'they mean everybody who is going to vote for them.
Franklin P. Adams

39.
When they call the roll in the Senate, the senators do not know whether to answer present or not guilty.
Roosevelt, Theodore

40.
At home you always have to be a politician. When you're abroad you almost feel yourself a statesman.
Macmillan, Harold

41.
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

42.
What we need in appointive positions are men of knowledge and experience with sufficient character to resist temptations.
Coolidge, Calvin

43.
Politics is organized hatred, that is unity.
Chapman, John Jay

44.
If there is anything a public servant hates to do it is something for the public.
Hubbard, Kin

45.
The abjection of our political situation is the only true challenge today. Only facing up to this situation in all its desperation can help us get out of it.
Baudrillard, Jean

46.
The two maxims of any great man at court are, always to keep his countenance and never to keep his work.
Swift, Jonathan

47.
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

48.
The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.
Bevan, Aneurin

49.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

50.
The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
