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

2.
One thing about a pig, he thinks he's warm if his nose is warm. I saw a bunch of pigs one time that had frozen together in a rosette, each one's nose tucked under the rump of the one in front. We have a lot of pigs in politics.
Mccarthy, Eugene J.

3.
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

4.
No party is as bad as its leaders.
Rogers, Will

5.
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
Cooper, James F.

6.
Any 20 year-old who isn't a liberal doesn't have a heart, and any 40 year-old who isn't a conservative doesn't have a brain.
Churchill, Winston

7.
When you've got them by their wallets, their hearts and minds will follow.
Naito, Fern

8.
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.

9.
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
Ephron, Nora

10.
A politician's words reveal less about what he thinks about his subject than what he thinks about his audience.
Will, George F.

11.
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

12.
Don't fall in love with politicians, they're all a disappointment. They can't help it, they just are.
Noonan, Peggy

13.
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.

14.
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
Rogers, Will

15.
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

16.
The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practice politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.
Chapman, John Jay

17.
Never answer a question from a farmer.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

18.
The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.
Bradlee, Ben C.

19.
The most successful politician is he who says what everybody is thinking most often and in the loudest voice.
Roosevelt, Theodore

20.
Did you ever notice that when a politician does get an idea he usually gets it all wrong.
Marquis, Don

21.
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

22.
An empty stomach is not a good political advisor.
Einstein, Albert

23.
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

24.
A politician would do well to remember that he has to live with his conscience longer than he does with his constituents.
Laird, Melvin R.

25.
Politics, when I am in it, it makes me sick.
Taft, William Howard

26.
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.

27.
Successful democratic politicians are insecure and intimidated men. They advance politically only as they placate, appease, bribe, seduce, bamboozle, or otherwise manage to manipulate the demanding and threatening elements in their constituencies. The decisive consideration is not whether the proposition is good but whether it is popular -- not whether it will work well and prove itself but whether the active talking constituents like it immediately. Politicians rationalize this servitude by saying that in a democracy public men are the servants of the people.
Lippmann, Walter

28.
In order to remain true to oneself one ought to renounce one's party three times a day.
Rostand, Jean

29.
The diplomatic name for the law of the jungle.
Culbertson, Ely

30.
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

31.
Only he has the calling for politics who is sure that he will not crumble when the world from his point of view is too stupid or base for what he wants to offer. Only he who in the face of all this can say In spite of all! has the calling for politics.
Weber, Max

32.
In politics, an absurdity in public business is going into it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

33.
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

34.
A politician is one that would circumvent God.
Shakespeare, William

35.
It takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead for fifteen years.
Truman, Harry S

36.
It only takes a politician believing in what he says for the others to stop believing him.
Baudrillard, Jean

37.
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

38.
A politician divides mankind into two classes; tools and enemies.
Fredrich

39.
In politics, yesterday's lie is attacked only to flatter today's.
Rostand, Jean

40.
It is unfair to expect a politician to live in private up to the statements he makes in public.
Maugham, W. Somerset

41.
The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.
Nixon, Richard M.

42.
My life's work has been accomplished. I did all that I could.
Gorbachev, Mikhail

43.
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

44.
Politics is the art of the next best.
Bismarck, Otto Von

45.
The problem with political jokes is they get elected.
Henry Cate VII

46.
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

47.
The politician is like an acrobat : he keeps his balance By saying the opposite of what he does.
Barres

48.
What in fact takes place in an election is that two hand picked candidates are propped up before the citizenry, each candidate having been selected by a very small group of politically active people. A minority of the people... then elects one of these hand picked people to rule itself and the majority.
Ringer, Robert J.

49.
A passion for politics stems usually from an insatiable need, either for power, or for friendship and adulation, or a combination of both.
Brodie, Fawn M.

50.
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
