Politics

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.
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
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

2.
Finality is not the language of politics.
Disraeli, Benjamin

3.
Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.
Disraeli, Benjamin

4.
Politics are such a torment that I would advise every one I love not to mix with them.
Jefferson, Thomas

5.
An honest politician is one who when he is bought will stay bought.
Cameron, W. J.

6.
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

7.
The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practice politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.
Chapman, John Jay

8.
The politician who never made a mistake never made a decision.
Major, John

9.
Politics makes strange postmasters.
Hubbard, Kin

10.
Most people assume the fights are going to be the left versus the right, but it always is the reasonable versus the jerks.
Jimmy Wales

11.
In politics, yesterday's lie is attacked only to flatter today's.
Rostand, Jean

12.
Sincerity and competence is a strong combination. In politics, it is everything.
Noonan, Peggy

13.
Nothing is irreparable in politics.
Anouilh, Jean

14.
Politics is about putting yourself in a state of grace.
Ashdown, Paddy

15.
Politics is the enemy of the imagination.
Mcewan, Ian

16.
Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.
Will, George F.

17.
Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.

18.
A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.
Clarke, James Freeman

19.
Politics is the profession of those who have neither trade nor art.
Hijazi, Muhammad

20.
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

21.
People who leave Washington do so by way of the box... ballet or coffin.
Pell, Claiborne

22.
In order to remain true to oneself one ought to renounce one's party three times a day.
Rostand, Jean

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Only very intelligent people don't wish they were in politics, and I'm dumb enough to want to be in there.
Welles, Orson

26.
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

27.
Politics are usually the executive expression of human immaturity.
Brittain, Vera

28.
No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.
Disraeli, Benjamin

29.
Political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.
Orwell, George

30.
Politician: From the Greek poly (many) and the French t?te (head or face, as in t?te-?-t?te: head to head or face to face). Hence
Pitt, Martin

31.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

32.
He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party man.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

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.
What this country needs is radicals who will stay that way regardless of the creeping years.
Fischer, John

35.
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

36.
Politics is a choice of enemas. You're gonna get it up the ass, no matter what you do.
Higgins, George V.

37.
If it's going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately.
Kissinger, Henry

38.
Now, we deny not, but that politicians may sometimes abuse religion, and make it serve for the promoting of their own private interests and designs; which yet they could not do so well neither, were the thing itself a mere cheat and figment of their own, and had no reality at all in nature, nor anything solid at the bottom of it.
Cudworth, Ralph J.

39.
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

40.
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

41.
The more you read and observe about this politics thing, the more you've got to admit that each party's worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best.
Rogers, Will

42.
The house of Lords is a model on how to care for the elderly.
Field, Franklin

43.
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities -- that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

44.
The only way you can do that [Balance The Budget, Decrease Taxes, and Increase Military Spending] is with mirrors, and that's what it would take.
Anderson, John B.

45.
When the doctrine of allegiance to party can utterly up-end a man's moral constitution and make a temporary fool of him besides, what excuse are you going to offer for preaching it, teaching it, extending it, perpetuating it? Shall you say, the best good of the country demands allegiance to party? Shall you also say it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter, and become a mouthing lunatic, besides?
Twain, Mark

46.
A politician is an ass upon which everyone has sat except a man.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

47.
Politicians should never put themselves first: governments should put people first and all of us should put our country first.

48.
My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.
Jackson, Jesse

49.
The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that position be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one's contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time.
Davis, Angela Y.

50.
The two-party system has given this country the war of Lyndon Johnson, the Watergate of Nixon, and the incompetence of Carter. Saying we should keep the two-party system simply because it is working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success because a few people survived on life-rafts.
Mccarthy, Eugene J.
