Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
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

2.

Marx, Karl

5.

7.
Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.
Gaulle, Charles De

8.

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

10.
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

11.
The mistake a lot of politicians make is in forgetting they've been appointed and thinking they've been anointed.
Pepper, Claude D.

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.

14.
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.

15.
Hell hath no fury like a crooked politician denied his cut.
Montalbano, Benjamin J.

16.
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

17.
The first requirement of politics is not intellect or stamina but patience. Politics is a very long run game and the tortoise will usually beat the hare.
Major, John

18.
In order to remain true to oneself one ought to renounce one's party three times a day.
Rostand, Jean

Will Rogers

20.
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

21.
The Tories in England had long imagined that they were enthusiastic about the monarchy, the church and beauties of the old English Constitution, until the day of danger wrung from them the confession that they are enthusiastic only about rent.
Marx, Karl

22.
When we got into office, the thing that surprised me most was to find that things were just as bad as we'd been saying they were.
Kennedy, John F.

[They] deal with questions which are now beyond the comprehension of most men.
