Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Rogers, Will

2.
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle

3.
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

4.
Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

5.
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.

6.
What do you want to be a sailor for? There are greater storms in politics than you will ever find at sea. Piracy, broadsides, blood on the decks. You will find them all in politics.
George, David Lloyd

7.
Politics is a choice of enemas. You're gonna get it up the ass, no matter what you do.
Higgins, George V.

8.
The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day.
Roosevelt, Theodore

9.
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.

10.
It doesn't matter what I say as long as I sound different from other politicians.
Brown, Jerry

11.
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

12.
When great questions end, little parties begin.
Bagehot, Walter

13.
Heads of state are notoriously ill prepared for their mature careers; think of Adolf Hitler (landscape painter), Ho Chi Minh (seaman), and our own Ronald Reagan.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

14.
Politics is the gizzard of society, full of gut and gravel.
Thoreau, Henry David

15.
In politics the middle way is none at all.
Adams, John

16.
One thing about a pig, he thinks he's warm if his nose is warm. I saw a bunch of pigs one time that had frozen together in a rosette, each one's nose tucked under the rump of the one in front. We have a lot of pigs in politics.
Mccarthy, Eugene J.

17.
You need to know that a member of Congress who refuses to allow the minimum wage to come up for a vote made more money during last year's one-month government shutdown than a minimum wage worker makes in an entire year.
Clinton, Bill

18.
Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others their principles for the sake of their party.
Churchill, Winston

19.
The apparent rulers of the English nation are like the imposing personages of a splendid procession: it is by them the mob are influenced; it is they whom the spectators cheer. The real rulers are secreted in second-rate carriages; no one cares for them or asks after them, but they are obeyed implicitly and unconsciously by reason of the splendor of those who eclipsed and preceded them.
Bagehot, Walter

20.
People who leave Washington do so by way of the box... ballet or coffin.
Pell, Claiborne

21.
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

22.
The greatest art of a politician is to render vice serviceable to the cause of virtue.
Bolingbroke, Henry

23.
The highest political buzz word is not liberty, equality, fraternity or solidarity; it is service.
Clough, Arthur Hugh

24.
What the statesman is most anxious to produce is a certain moral character in his fellow citizens, namely a disposition to virtue and the performance of virtuous actions.
Aristotle

25.
Honest statesmanship is the wise employment of individual meanness for the public good.
Lincoln, Abraham

26.
To speak on without saying anything has always been the greatest gift of orators.
Platen

27.
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
Ephron, Nora

28.
In politics, an absurdity in public business is going into it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

29.
I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life.
Blake, William

30.
A constitutional statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities.
Bagehot, Walter

31.
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.

32.
One can say that three pre-eminent qualities are decisive for the politician: passion, a feeling of responsibility, and a sense of proportion.
Weber, Max

33.
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

34.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

35.
In politics... shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

36.
No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.
Disraeli, Benjamin

37.
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

38.
Politicians -- power itself -- are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives. One should be grateful to the politicians for accepting the abstractness of power, and ridding others of its burden. This inevitably kills them but they get their revenge by passing onto others the corpse of power.
Baudrillard, Jean

39.
I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat!
Rogers, Will

40.
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

41.
Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

42.
All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies.
Arbuthnot, John

43.
Never answer a question from a farmer.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

44.
There is one rule for politicians all over the world: Don't say in Power what you say in opposition; if you do, you only have to carry out what the other fellows have found impossible.
Galsworthy, John

45.
Political success is the ability, when the inevitable occurs, to get credit for it.
Peter, Laurence J.

46.
Politics are such a torment that I would advise every one I love not to mix with them.
Jefferson, Thomas

47.
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities -- that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

48.
The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.
Marx, Karl

49.
Politics, when I am in it, it makes me sick.
Taft, William Howard

50.
The Empress is legitimate, my cousin is Republican, Morny is Orleanist, I am a socialist; the only Bonapartist is Persigny, and he is mad.
Napoleon III
