Motivational Quotes

Politics

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

Best Quotes about Politics

1.
In politics, as on the sickbed, people toss from side to side, thinking they will be more comfortable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

2.
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

3.
I find myself... hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit, which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.
Pope, Alexander

4.
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.

5.
In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme.
Hattersley, Roy

6.
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

7.
People say I'm indecisive, but I don't know about that.
Bush, George

8.
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.
Mitchell, George J.

9.
A political convention is not a place where you can come away with any trace of faith in human nature.
Kempton, Murray

10.
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

11.
Never answer a question from a farmer.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

12.
Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them.
Paul Valery

13.
Politicians should never put themselves first: governments should put people first and all of us should put our country first.

14.
A politician's words reveal less about what he thinks about his subject than what he thinks about his audience.
Will, George F.

15.
The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.
Bevan, Aneurin

16.
The diplomatic name for the law of the jungle.
Culbertson, Ely

17.
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
Cooper, James F.

18.
There is no more independence in politics than there is in jail.
Rogers, Will

19.
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.

20.
We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.
Benn, Tony

21.
Politics is organized hatred, that is unity.
Chapman, John Jay

22.
I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers; what I said was all saloonkeepers are Democrats.
Greeley, Horace

23.
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

24.
In the school of political projectors, I was but ill entertained, the professors appearing, in my judgment, wholly out of their senses; which is a scene that never fails to make me melancholy. These unhappy people were proposing schemes for persuading monarchs to choose favorites upon the score of their wisdom, capacity, and virtue; of teaching ministers to consult the public good; of rewarding merit, great abilities, and eminent services, of instructing princes to know their true interest, by placing it on the same foundation with that of their people; of choosing for employment persons qualified to exercise them; with many other wild impossible chimeras, that never entered before into the heart of man to conceive; and confirmed in me the old observation, that there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth.
Swift, Jonathan

25.
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Nixon, Richard M.

26.
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

27.
Politics is a choice of enemas. You're gonna get it up the ass, no matter what you do.
Higgins, George V.

28.
Politics is the enemy of the imagination.
Mcewan, Ian

29.
Nothing can so alienate a voter from the political system as backing a winning candidate.
Mark B. Cohen

30.
In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

31.
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

32.
When you've got them by their wallets, their hearts and minds will follow.
Naito, Fern

33.
Politics can be relatively fair in the breathing spaces of history; at its critical turning points there is no other rule possible than the old one, that the end justifies the means.
Koestler, Arthur

34.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Nathan, George Jean

35.
The politician is like an acrobat : he keeps his balance By saying the opposite of what he does.
Barres

36.
A majority is always better than the best repartee.
Disraeli, Benjamin

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

39.
Political success is the ability, when the inevitable occurs, to get credit for it.
Peter, Laurence J.

40.
In order to remain true to oneself one ought to renounce one's party three times a day.
Rostand, Jean

41.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
Eban, Abba

42.
The politician who never made a mistake never made a decision.
Major, John

43.
Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.
John Kenneth Galbraith

44.
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

45.
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

46.
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
Quinton, John

47.
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.

48.
A candidate could easily commit political suicide if he were to come up with an unconventional thought during a presidential tour.
White, Elwyn Brooks

49.
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

50.
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.
