- Truman, Harry S
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
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

2.
In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.
Churchill, Winston

3.
Sincerity and competence is a strong combination. In politics, it is everything.
Noonan, Peggy

4.
In politics, as in life, we must above all things wish only for the attainable.
Heine, Heinrich

5.
If it's going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately.
Kissinger, Henry

6.
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

7.
People who leave Washington do so by way of the box... ballet or coffin.
Pell, Claiborne

8.
Political success is the ability, when the inevitable occurs, to get credit for it.
Peter, Laurence J.

9.
When they call the roll in the Senate, the senators do not know whether to answer present or not guilty.
Roosevelt, Theodore

10.
Those who corrupt the public mind are just as evil as those who steal from the public purse.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

11.
Politics are almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.
Churchill, Winston

12.
The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression.
French National Assembly

13.
Politics will eventually be replaced by imagery. The politician will be only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image, because the image will be much more powerful than he could ever be.
Mcluhan, Marshall

14.
We mean by politics the people's business -- the most important business there is.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

15.
Nothing is irreparable in politics.
Anouilh, Jean

16.
It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
Carlyle, Thomas

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Politics, when I am in it, it makes me sick.
Taft, William Howard

20.
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

21.
If we choose only to expose ourselves to opinions and viewpoints that are in line to our own, we become more polarized, more set in our own ways. It will only reinforce and deepen the political divides in our country. But if we choose to actively seek out information that challenges our assumptions and beliefs, perhaps we can begin to understand where the people who disagree with us are coming from.
President Barack Obama

22.
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

23.
We are the trade union for pensioners and children, the trade union for the disabled and the sick... the trade union for the nation as a whole.
Heath, Edward

24.
A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

25.
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

26.
It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs.
Albert Einstein

27.
He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party man.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

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.
A Whig is properly what is called a Trimmer -- that is, a coward to both sides of the question, who dare not be a knave nor an honest man, but is a sort of whiffing, shuffling, cunning, silly, contemptible, unmeaning negation of the two.
Hazlitt, William

30.
It takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead for fifteen years.
Truman, Harry S

31.
Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.
Gaulle, Charles De

32.
Politics is the gizzard of society, full of gut and gravel.
Thoreau, Henry David

33.
A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life.
Mill, John Stuart

34.
Politics is organized hatred, that is unity.
Chapman, John Jay

35.
Never answer a question from a farmer.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

36.
A man who is a politician at forty is a statesman at three score and ten. It is at this age, when he would be too old to be a clerk or a gardener or a police-court magistrate, that he is ripe to govern a country.
Maugham, W. Somerset

37.
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.

38.
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities -- that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

39.
I find myself... hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit, which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.
Pope, Alexander

40.
Political organizations have slowly substituted themselves for the Churches as the places for believing practices. Politics has once again become religious.
Certeau, Michel De

41.
Politics is the art of the next best.
Bismarck, Otto Von

42.
In politics a straight line is the shortest distance to disaster.
Roche, John P.

43.
It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

44.
Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.
Huxley, Aldous

45.
In the school of political projectors, I was but ill entertained, the professors appearing, in my judgment, wholly out of their senses; which is a scene that never fails to make me melancholy. These unhappy people were proposing schemes for persuading monarchs to choose favorites upon the score of their wisdom, capacity, and virtue; of teaching ministers to consult the public good; of rewarding merit, great abilities, and eminent services, of instructing princes to know their true interest, by placing it on the same foundation with that of their people; of choosing for employment persons qualified to exercise them; with many other wild impossible chimeras, that never entered before into the heart of man to conceive; and confirmed in me the old observation, that there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth.
Swift, Jonathan

46.
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

47.
I played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Nixon, Richard M.

48.
Politics is largely a matter of heart.
R. A. Butler

49.
Sometimes in politics one must duel with skunks, but no one should be fool enough to allow skunks to choose the weapons.
Cannon, Joseph

50.
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
