Politics

Any man with a fine shock of hair, a good set of teeth, and a bewitching smile can park his brains, if he has any, and run for public office.

Best Quotes about Politics

1.
A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

2.
In politics, as on the sickbed, people toss from side to side, thinking they will be more comfortable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

3.
It's a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president... except me.
Goldwater, Barry

4.
A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.
Clarke, James Freeman

5.
Every clique is a refuge for incompetence. It fosters corruption and disloyalty, it begets cowardice, and consequently is a burden upon and a drawback to the progress of the country. Its instincts and actions are those of the pack.
Chiang Kai-Shek, Madame

6.
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

7.
I do not deny that there may be other well-founded causes for the hatred which various classes feel toward politicians, but the main one seems to me that politicians are symbols of the fact that every class must take every other class into account.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

8.
Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working Americans. It is the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them.
Tomlin, Lily

9.
I do not look for much to come out of government ownership as long as we have Democrats and Republicans.
Hubbard, Kin

10.
I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat!
Rogers, Will

11.
A candidate could easily commit political suicide if he were to come up with an unconventional thought during a presidential tour.
White, Elwyn Brooks

12.
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

13.
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

14.
In politics, being ridiculous is more damaging than being extreme.
Hattersley, Roy

15.
A politician is one that would circumvent God.
Shakespeare, William

16.
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

17.
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.

18.
Before we get too depressed about the state of our politics, let's remember our history. The great debates of the past, all stirred great passions. They all made somebody angry, and at least once led to a terrible war. What is amazing, is that despite all the conflict, our experiment in democracy has worked better than any form of government on earth.
President Barack Obama

19.
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

20.
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

21.
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
Reagan, Ronald

22.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Nathan, George Jean

23.
Politics is organized hatred, that is unity.
Chapman, John Jay

24.
The most successful politician is he who says what everybody is thinking most often and in the loudest voice.
Roosevelt, Theodore

25.
We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.
Benn, Tony

26.
A constitutional statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities.
Bagehot, Walter

27.
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

28.
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

29.
I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers; what I said was all saloonkeepers are Democrats.
Greeley, Horace

30.
To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities -- that is not to be taken seriously in politics.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

31.
The belief that politics can be scientific must inevitably produce tyrannies. Politics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation. Empirical politics must be kept in bounds by democratic institutions, which leave it up to the subjects of the experiment to say whether it shall be tried, and to stop it if they dislike it, because, in politics, there is a distinction, unknown to science, between Truth and Justice.
Auden, W. H.

32.
Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.
Margaret Cho

33.
I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.
Thatcher, Margaret

34.
It is hard to say why politicians are called servants, unless it is because a good one is hard to find.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

35.
The politician who never made a mistake never made a decision.
Major, John

36.
Politicians have the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterward to explain why it didn't happen.
Churchill, Winston

37.
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.

38.
Politics makes strange postmasters.
Hubbard, Kin

39.
Within the first few months I discovered that being president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep riding or be swallowed.
Truman, Harry S

40.
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

41.
A majority is always better than the best repartee.
Disraeli, Benjamin

42.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
Eban, Abba

43.
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.

44.
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Rogers, Will

45.
My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.
Jackson, Jesse

46.
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

47.
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

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
