Politics

People with high ideals don't necessarily make good politicians. If clean politics is so important, we should leave the job to scientists and the clergy.
- Watanabe, Michio
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
In argument, truth always prevails finally; in politics, falsehood always.
Landor, Walter Savage

2.
As in private life one differentiates between what a man thinks and says of himself and what he really is and does, so in historical struggles one must still more distinguish the language and the imaginary aspirations of parties from their real organism and their real interests, their conception of themselves from their reality.
Marx, Karl

3.
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

4.
Politicians should never put themselves first: governments should put people first and all of us should put our country first.

5.
The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
Rogers, Will

6.
No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.
Disraeli, Benjamin

7.
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

8.
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

9.
If you're I politics and you can't tell when you walk into a room who's for you and who's against you, then you're in the wrong line of work.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

10.
It takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead for fifteen years.
Truman, Harry S

11.
Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

12.
As usual the Liberals offer a mixture of sound and original ideas. Unfortunately none of the sound ideas is original and none of the original ideas is sound.
Macmillan, Harold

13.
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

14.
Politics is a place of humble hopes and strangely modest requirements, where all are good who are not criminal and all are wise who are not ridiculously otherwise.
Colby, Frank Moore

15.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
Eban, Abba

16.
When a leader is in the Democratic Party he is a boss, and when he is in the Republican Party he is a leader.
Truman, Harry S

17.
Politics is far more complicated than physics.
Einstein, Albert

18.
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

19.
Once you run for office, you're in it -- sort of like going into the military. You'd better be damned sure it is what you want to do and that the rest of your life is set up to accommodate that. It takes a certain toll on your personality and on your family life. I've seen it personally.
Kennedy Jr., John F.

20.
I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.
Thatcher, Margaret

21.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Nathan, George Jean

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.
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

24.
In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

25.
The Empress is legitimate, my cousin is Republican, Morny is Orleanist, I am a socialist; the only Bonapartist is Persigny, and he is mad.
Napoleon III

26.
We are not just here to manage capitalism but to change society and to define its finer values.
Benn, Tony

27.
The most difficult choice a politician must ever make is whether to be a hypocrite or a liar.

28.
There have been many great men that have flattered the people who never loved them.
Shakespeare, William

29.
One has to be a lowbrow, a bit of a murderer, to be a politician, ready and willing to see people sacrificed, slaughtered, for the sake of an idea, whether a good one or a bad one.
Miller, Henry

30.
Did you ever notice that when a politician does get an idea he usually gets it all wrong.
Marquis, Don

31.
It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
Carlyle, Thomas

32.
Mediocrity in politics is not to be despised. Greatness is not needed.
Enzensberger, Hans Magnus

33.
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

34.
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.

35.
Politics is a profession where the paths of glory lead but to the gravy.
Franklin, Billy Boy

36.
The problem with political jokes is they get elected.
Henry Cate VII

37.
Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.
Disraeli, Benjamin

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

39.
Yogi met George Bush during an election campaign. Bush said Texas was important. Yogi said Texas has a lot of electrical votes.
Berra, Yogi

40.
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

41.
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca

42.
In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
Mccarthy, Mary

43.
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

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

It is my settled opinion, after some years as a political correspondent, that no one is attracted to a political career in the first place unless he is socially or emotionally crippled.

46.
The bright old day now dawns again; the cry runs through the land, in England there shall be dear bread -- in Ireland,sword and brand; and poverty, and ignorance, shall swell the rich and grand, so rally round the rulers with the gentle iron hand, of the fine old English Tory days; hail to the coming time!
Dickens, Charles

47.
Politics, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.
Adams, Henry Brooks

The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.
