Politics

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

Best Quotes about Politics

1.
Rome had Senators too, and that is why it declined.
Dane, Frank

2.
Political image is like mixing cement. When it's wet, you can move it around and shape it, but at some point it hardens and there's almost nothing you can do to reshape it.
Mondale, Walter F.

3.
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

4.
It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.
Bacon, Francis

5.
A political organization is a transferable commodity. You could not find a better way of killing virtue than by packing it into one of these contraptions which some gang of thieves is sure to find useful.
Chapman, John Jay

6.
Politicians should never put themselves first: governments should put people first and all of us should put our country first.

7.
Don't buy a single vote more than necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide.
Kennedy, Joseph

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

9.
The greatest art of a politician is to render vice serviceable to the cause of virtue.
Bolingbroke, Henry

10.
Yogi met George Bush during an election campaign. Bush said Texas was important. Yogi said Texas has a lot of electrical votes.
Berra, Yogi

11.
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

12.
Finality is not the language of politics.
Disraeli, Benjamin

13.
The abjection of our political situation is the only true challenge today. Only facing up to this situation in all its desperation can help us get out of it.
Baudrillard, Jean

14.
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Langley, Edward

15.
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Rogers, Will

16.
Hell hath no fury like a crooked politician denied his cut.
Montalbano, Benjamin J.

17.
Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.
Gaulle, Charles De

18.
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

19.
Let us not forget that we can never go farther than we can persuade at least half of the people to go.
Gaitskell, Hugh

20.
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

21.
Nothing is so abject and pathetic as a politician who has lost his job, save only a retired stud-horse.
Mencken, H. L.

22.
I hope the two wings of the Democratic Party may flap together.
Bryan, William Jennings

23.
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

24.
A majority is always better than the best repartee.
Disraeli, Benjamin

25.
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca

26.
There is no more independence in politics than there is in jail.
Rogers, Will

27.
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.

28.
I adore political parties. They are the only place left to us where people don't talk politics.
Wilde, Oscar

29.
Political organizations have slowly substituted themselves for the Churches as the places for believing practices. Politics has once again become religious.
Certeau, Michel De

30.
We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.
Benn, Tony

31.
We assume that politicians are without honor. We read their statements trying to crack the code. The scandals of their politics: not so much that men in high places lie, only that they do so with such indifference, so endlessly, still expecting to be believed. We are accustomed to the contempt inherent in the political lie.
Rich, Adrienne

32.
A promising young man should go into politics so that he can go on promising for the rest of his life.
Byrne, Robert

33.
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

34.
Few businessmen are capable of being in politics, they don't understand the democratic process, they have neither the tolerance or the depth it takes. Democracy isn't a business.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

35.
Politics and the fate of mankind are shaped by men without ideals and without greatness. Men who have greatness within them don't go in for politics.
Camus, Albert

36.
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Gaulle, Charles De

37.
A politician is a man who understands government and it takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead for fifteen years.
Truman, Harry S

38.
When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.
Jefferson, Thomas

39.
It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president... except me.
Goldwater, Barry

40.
No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.
Disraeli, Benjamin

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

42.
You slam a politician, you make out he's the devil, with horns and hoofs. But his wife loves him, and so did all his mistresses.
Johnson, Pamela Hansford

43.
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

44.
In politics the choice is constantly between two evils.
Morley, John

45.
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

46.
Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul -- politics does the same thing for the body.
Cary, Joyce

47.
It is unfair to expect a politician to live in private up to the statements he makes in public.
Maugham, W. Somerset

48.
Politics will sooner or later make fools of everybody.
Armey, Dick

49.
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

50.
There are two types of politicians: the ones that are courageous and honest, and the ones that have a steep career.
Kocher, Gerhard
