Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
Sincerity and competence is a strong combination. In politics, it is everything.
Noonan, Peggy

2.
We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
Russell, Dora

3.
No wonder that, when a political career is so precarious, men of worth and capacity hesitate to embrace it. They cannot afford to be thrown out of their life's course by a mere accident.
Bryce, James

4.
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Gaulle, Charles De

5.
In the domain of Political Economy, free scientific inquiry meets not merely the same enemies as in all other domains. The peculiar nature of the material it deals with, summons as foes into the field of battle the most violent, mean and malignant passions of the human breast, the Furies of private interest.
Marx, Karl

6.
Any established village; could afford a town drunkard, a town atheist, and a few Democrats.
Brogan, Denis E.

7.
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
Quinton, John

8.
Politics will sooner or later make fools of everybody.
Armey, Dick

9.
There are no true friends in politics. We are all sharks circling, and waiting, for traces of blood to appear in the water.
Clark, Alan

10.
In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme.
Hattersley, Roy

11.
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Nixon, Richard M.

12.
In argument, truth always prevails finally; in politics, falsehood always.
Landor, Walter Savage

13.
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.

14.
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca

15.
Many politicians lay it down as a self-evident proposition, that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story, who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
Macaulay, Lord

16.
Nothing is so foolish, they say, as for a man to stand for office and woo the crowd to win its vote, buy its support with presents, court the applause of all those fools and feel self-satisfied when they cry their approval, and then in his hour of triumph to be carried round like an effigy for the public to stare at, and end up cast in bronze to stand in the market place.
Erasmus, Desiderius

17.
Legislators: Rape their wives and do two years. Kill their children and do five years. Steal their money and kiss your ass goodbye.
Powell, L. R.

18.
Nothing can so alienate a voter from the political system as backing a winning candidate.
Mark B. Cohen

19.
I always considered statesmen to be more expendable than soldiers.
Truman, Harry S

20.
Ninety percent of politics is deciding whom to blame.
Greenfield, Meg

21.
There is no sea more dangerous than the ocean of practical politics -- none in which there is more need of good pilots and of a single, unfaltering purpose when the waves rise high.
Huxley, Thomas H.

22.
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.
Mitchell, George J.

23.
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

24.
To speak on without saying anything has always been the greatest gift of orators.
Platen

25.
Nothing is so abject and pathetic as a politician who has lost his job, save only a retired stud-horse.
Mencken, H. L.

26.
In politics, as in life, we must above all things wish only for the attainable.
Heine, Heinrich

27.
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

28.
The newspaper reader says: this party will ruin itself if it makes errors like this. My higher politics says: a party which makes errors like this is already finished -- it is no longer secure in its instincts.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

29.
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other.
Ameringer, Oscar

30.
Politics is the gizzard of society, full of gut and gravel.
Thoreau, Henry David

31.
The heaviest penalty for deciding to engage in politics is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.
Plato

32.
The most difficult choice a politician must ever make is whether to be a hypocrite or a liar.

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

34.
All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies.
Arbuthnot, John

35.
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

36.
The diplomatic name for the law of the jungle.
Culbertson, Ely

37.
Politics, when I am in it, it makes me sick.
Taft, William Howard

38.
Politics is a blood sport.
Bevan, Aneurin

39.
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.

40.
In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

41.
When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.
Jefferson, Thomas

42.
I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
Rogers, Will

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.
If there is anything a public servant hates to do it is something for the public.
Hubbard, Kin

45.
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Lester B. Pearson

46.
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
Cooper, James F.

47.
The ordinary politician has a very low estimate of human nature. In his daily life he comes into contact chiefly with persons who want to get something or to avoid something. Beyond this circle of seekers after privileges, individuals and organized minorities, he is aware of a large unorganized, indifferent mass of citizens who ask nothing in particular and rarely complain. The politician comes after a while to think that the art of politics is to satisfy the seekers after favors and to mollify the inchoate mass with noble sentiments and patriotic phrases.
Lippmann, Walter

48.
Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident -- the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.
Banfield, Edward C.

49.
In politics, yesterday's lie is attacked only to flatter today's.
Rostand, Jean

50.
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
