Politics
When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it, and I didn't inhale, and I never tried again.

Best Quotes about Politics
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
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
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
In politics the choice is constantly between two evils.
Morley, John
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
There is an increasingly pervasive sense not only of failure, but of futility. The legislative process has become a cruel shell game and the service system has become a bureaucratic maze, inefficient, incomprehensible, and inaccessible.
Richardson, Elliot
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca
Successful democratic politicians are insecure and intimidated men. They advance politically only as they placate, appease, bribe, seduce, bamboozle, or otherwise manage to manipulate the demanding and threatening elements in their constituencies. The decisive consideration is not whether the proposition is good but whether it is popular -- not whether it will work well and prove itself but whether the active talking constituents like it immediately. Politicians rationalize this servitude by saying that in a democracy public men are the servants of the people.
Lippmann, Walter
Politicians have the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterward to explain why it didn't happen.
Churchill, Winston
When they call the roll in the Senate, the senators do not know whether to answer present or not guilty.
Roosevelt, Theodore
A politician is an ass upon which everyone has sat except a man.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
A politician is one that would circumvent God.
Shakespeare, William
The politician who never made a mistake never made a decision.
Major, John
A politician divides mankind into two classes; tools and enemies.
Fredrich
The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression.
French National Assembly
Politics is a choice of enemas. You're gonna get it up the ass, no matter what you do.
Higgins, George V.
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
You slam a politician, you make out he's the devil, with horns and hoofs. But his wife loves him, and so did all his mistresses.
Johnson, Pamela Hansford
When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it, and I didn't inhale, and I never tried again.
Clinton, Bill
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Langley, Edward
Politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers
Hell hath no fury like a crooked politician denied his cut.
Montalbano, Benjamin J.
Politicians should never put themselves first: governments should put people first and all of us should put our country first.
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
I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers; what I said was all saloonkeepers are Democrats.
Greeley, Horace
It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president... except me.
Goldwater, Barry
A candidate could easily commit political suicide if he were to come up with an unconventional thought during a presidential tour.
White, Elwyn Brooks
No party is as bad as its leaders.
Rogers, Will
Politics and the fate of mankind are shaped by men without ideals and without greatness. Men who have greatness within them don't go in for politics.
Camus, Albert
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle
Politics makes strange postmasters.
Hubbard, Kin
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.
Nothing can so alienate a voter from the political system as backing a winning candidate.
Mark B. Cohen
When a leader is in the Democratic Party he is a boss, and when he is in the Republican Party he is a leader.
Truman, Harry S
Son, in politics you've got to learn that overnight chicken shit can turn to chicken salad.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
Fuller, R. Buckminster
Politics are almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
Churchill, Winston
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
People who leave Washington do so by way of the box... ballet or coffin.
Pell, Claiborne
I always considered statesmen to be more expendable than soldiers.
Truman, Harry S
Whether elected or appointed he considers himself the Lord's anointed, and indeed the ointment lingers on him so thick you can't get your fingers on him.
Nash, Ogden
I do not deny that there may be other well-founded causes for the hatred which various classes feel toward politicians, but the main one seems to me that politicians are symbols of the fact that every class must take every other class into account.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
Democrats can't get elected unless things get worse, and things won't get worse unless they get elected.
Kirkpatrick, Jeane
We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.
Benn, Tony
The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
If everybody in this town connected with politics had to leave town because of chasing women and drinking, you would have no government.
Goldwater, Barry
There have been many great men that have flattered the people who never loved them.
Shakespeare, William
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.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
Eban, Abba
