Politics

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
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

2.
If you're I politics and you can't tell when you walk into a room who's for you and who's against you, then you're in the wrong line of work.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

3.
Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does.
Marx, Groucho

4.
Politics is a profession where the paths of glory lead but to the gravy.
Franklin, Billy Boy

5.
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

6.
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Rogers, Will

7.
No political party has exclusive patent rights on prosperity.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

8.
Politics is a blood sport.
Bevan, Aneurin

9.
Politics is a choice of enemas. You're gonna get it up the ass, no matter what you do.
Higgins, George V.

10.
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

11.
What this country needs is radicals who will stay that way regardless of the creeping years.
Fischer, John

12.
He could not see a belt without hitting below it.
Asquith, Margot

13.
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.

14.
Now, we deny not, but that politicians may sometimes abuse religion, and make it serve for the promoting of their own private interests and designs; which yet they could not do so well neither, were the thing itself a mere cheat and figment of their own, and had no reality at all in nature, nor anything solid at the bottom of it.
Cudworth, Ralph J.

15.
The two maxims of any great man at court are, always to keep his countenance and never to keep his work.
Swift, Jonathan

16.
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
Alfred E. Newman

17.
Political image is like mixing cement. When it's wet, you can move it around and shape it, but at some point it hardens and there's almost nothing you can do to reshape it.
Mondale, Walter F.

18.
A politician's words reveal less about what he thinks about his subject than what he thinks about his audience.
Will, George F.

19.
You have to have been a Republican to know how good it is to be a Democrat.
Onassis, Jacqueline Kennedy

20.
Don't buy a single vote more than necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide.
Kennedy, Joseph

21.
I adore political parties. They are the only place left to us where people don't talk politics.
Wilde, Oscar

22.
It is unfair to expect a politician to live in private up to the statements he makes in public.
Maugham, W. Somerset

23.
It only takes a politician believing in what he says for the others to stop believing him.
Baudrillard, Jean

24.
There have been many great men that have flattered the people who never loved them.
Shakespeare, William

25.
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Russell, Dora

26.
If American politics does not look to you like a joke, a tragic dance; if you have enough blindness left in you, on any plea, on any excuse, to vote for the Democratic Party or the Republican Party (for at present machine and party are one), or for any candidate who does not stand for a new era, -- then you yourself pass into the slide of the magic-lantern; you are an exhibit, a quaint product, a curiosity of the American soil. You are part of the problem.
Chapman, John Jay

27.
The highest political buzz word is not liberty, equality, fraternity or solidarity; it is service.
Clough, Arthur Hugh

28.
Politics, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.
Adams, Henry Brooks

29.
Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.
Margaret Cho

30.
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

31.
To speak on without saying anything has always been the greatest gift of orators.
Platen

32.
The lounge of the main hotel is full of jollity, with large comfortable men sitting in braces; the bar is packed with talkative intellectuals, full of witty disloyalties. The next week the main hotel is suddenly full of dinner-jackets and large hats. The girls are dressed as if for a weekend in the country. When one of the great men of the party comes through, the crowd edges respectfully away, murmuring loyal noises.
Sampson, Anthony

33.
Yogi met George Bush during an election campaign. Bush said Texas was important. Yogi said Texas has a lot of electrical votes.
Berra, Yogi

34.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
Eban, Abba

35.
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

36.
A liberal is a man who leaves a room when the fight begins.
Broun, Heywood

37.
This Party is a moral crusade or it is nothing.
Wilson, Harold

38.
I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers; what I said was all saloonkeepers are Democrats.
Greeley, Horace

39.
The House of Lords is the British Outer Mongolia for retired politicians.
Benn, Tony

40.
In politics people give you what they think you deserve and deny you what they think you want.
Parkinson, Cecil

41.
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Langley, Edward

42.
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Rogers, Will

43.
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Rogers, Will

44.
A politician is a man who understands government and it takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead for fifteen years.
Truman, Harry S

45.
One wanders to the left, another to the right. Both are equally in error, but, are seduced by different delusions.
Horace

46.
There is no gambling like politics. Nothing in which the power of circumstance is more evident.
Disraeli, Benjamin

47.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed [and Hence Clamorous To Be Led To Safety] by an endless series of hobgoblins.
Mencken, H. L.

48.
We assume that politicians are without honor. We read their statements trying to crack the code. The scandals of their politics: not so much that men in high places lie, only that they do so with such indifference, so endlessly, still expecting to be believed. We are accustomed to the contempt inherent in the political lie.
Rich, Adrienne

49.
A politician is one that would circumvent God.
Shakespeare, William

50.
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
