Politics

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



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
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

2.
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

3.
Hell hath no fury like a crooked politician denied his cut.
Montalbano, Benjamin J.

4.
The right man, in the right place, at the right time, can steal millions.
Nunn, Gregory

5.
Politics is about putting yourself in a state of grace.
Ashdown, Paddy

6.
What we need in appointive positions are men of knowledge and experience with sufficient character to resist temptations.
Coolidge, Calvin

7.
The diplomatic name for the law of the jungle.
Culbertson, Ely

8.
It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.
Bacon, Francis

9.
Once you run for office, you're in it -- sort of like going into the military. You'd better be damned sure it is what you want to do and that the rest of your life is set up to accommodate that. It takes a certain toll on your personality and on your family life. I've seen it personally.
Kennedy Jr., John F.

10.
Ignorance makes most men go into a political party, and shame keeps them from getting out of it.
Halifax, Edward F.

11.
The era of the political was one of anomie: crisis, violence, madness and revolution. The era of the trans-political is that of anomaly: an aberration of no consequence, contemporaneous with the event of no consequence.
Baudrillard, Jean

12.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.
Ernest Benn

13.
Politics is the art of the next best.
Bismarck, Otto Von

14.
In politics you must always keep running with the pack. The moment that you falter and they sense that you are injured, the rest will turn on you like wolves.
R. A. Butler

15.
Politics is made up largely of irrelevancies.
Dalton Camp

16.
This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.
Rogers, Will

17.
Nothing is irreparable in politics.
Anouilh, Jean

18.
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.

19.
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca

20.
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

21.
Let us not forget that we can never go farther than we can persuade at least half of the people to go.
Gaitskell, Hugh

22.
I played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Nixon, Richard M.

23.
If a politician isn't doing it to his wife , then he's doing it to his country.
Grant, Amy

24.
Politicians say they're beefing up our economy. Most don't know beef from pork.
Lowman, Hariold

25.
If I was forced to choose between the penitentiary and White House for four years, I would say the penitentiary, thank you.
Sherman, William T.

26.
People with high ideals don't necessarily make good politicians. If clean politics is so important, we should leave the job to scientists and the clergy.
Watanabe, Michio

27.
Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures; there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen.
Noonan, Peggy

28.
Circumstances give in reality to every political principle its distinguishing color and discriminating effect. The circumstances are what render every civil and political scheme beneficial or noxious to mankind.
Burke, Edmund

29.
Most of us are conditioned for many years to have a political viewpoint -- Republican or Democratic, liberal, conservative, or moderate. The fact of the matter is that most of the problems that we now face are technical problems, are administrative problems. They are very sophisticated judgments, which do not lend themselves to the great sort of passionate movements which have stirred this country so often in the past. [They] deal with questions which are now beyond the comprehension of most men.
Kennedy, John F.

30.
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

31.
Away with the cant of Measures, not men! -- the idle supposition that it is the harness and not the horses that draw the chariot along. No, Sir, if the comparison must be made, if the distinction must be taken, men are everything, measures comparatively nothing.
Canning, George

32.
Finality is not the language of politics.
Disraeli, Benjamin

33.
At home you always have to be a politician. When you're abroad you almost feel yourself a statesman.
Macmillan, Harold

34.
I adore political parties. They are the only place left to us where people don't talk politics.
Wilde, Oscar

35.
Politics is a blood sport.
Bevan, Aneurin

36.
The politician is like an acrobat : he keeps his balance By saying the opposite of what he does.
Barres

37.
Political organizations have slowly substituted themselves for the Churches as the places for believing practices. Politics has once again become religious.
Certeau, Michel De

38.
Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others their principles for the sake of their party.
Churchill, Winston

39.
Politics has never been for the thin-skinned or the faint of heart, and if you enter the arena , you should expect to get roughed up. Moreover, Democracy in a nation of more than 300 million people is inherently difficult.
President Barack Obama

40.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
Reagan, Ronald

41.
Let me just tell you how thrilling it really is, and how, what a challenge it is, because in 1988 the question is whether we're going forward to tomorrow or whether we're going to go past to the back!
Quayle, Dan

42.
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

43.
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

44.
Politics, n. Strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles.
Ambrose Bierce

45.
In politics, as in life, we must above all things wish only for the attainable.
Heine, Heinrich

46.
A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

47.
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
Alfred E. Newman

48.
Politics is the profession of those who have neither trade nor art.
Hijazi, Muhammad

49.
I do not look for much to come out of government ownership as long as we have Democrats and Republicans.
Hubbard, Kin

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.
