Politics

The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best.
- Will Rogers
Politics Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Politics

1.
In politics... never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

2.
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

3.
All politics takes place on a slippery slope. The most important four words in politics are up to a point.
Will, George F.

4.
Don't buy a single vote more than necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide.
Kennedy, Joseph

5.
A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

6.
Politics is a profession where the paths of glory lead but to the gravy.
Franklin, Billy Boy

7.
Sometimes in politics one must duel with skunks, but no one should be fool enough to allow skunks to choose the weapons.
Cannon, Joseph

8.
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

9.
The courts of kings are full of people, but empty of friends.
Seneca

10.
A liberal is a man who leaves a room when the fight begins.
Broun, Heywood

11.
Politics is the profession of those who have neither trade nor art.
Hijazi, Muhammad

12.
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.

13.
A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.
Clarke, James Freeman

14.
If it's going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately.
Kissinger, Henry

15.
In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.
Churchill, Winston

16.
To know your place is a good idea in politics. That is not to say stay in your place or hang on to your place, because ambition or boredom may dictate upward or downward mobility, but a sense of place -- a feel for one's own position in the control room -- is useful in gauging what you should try to do.
Safire, William

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Politics is the science of urgencies.
Parker, Theodore

20.
It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs.
Albert Einstein

21.
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

22.
In politics the middle way is none at all.
Adams, John

23.
Heads of state are notoriously ill prepared for their mature careers; think of Adolf Hitler (landscape painter), Ho Chi Minh (seaman), and our own Ronald Reagan.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

24.
The apparent rulers of the English nation are like the imposing personages of a splendid procession: it is by them the mob are influenced; it is they whom the spectators cheer. The real rulers are secreted in second-rate carriages; no one cares for them or asks after them, but they are obeyed implicitly and unconsciously by reason of the splendor of those who eclipsed and preceded them.
Bagehot, Walter

25.
Politics is the enemy of the imagination.
Mcewan, Ian

26.
What we need in appointive positions are men of knowledge and experience with sufficient character to resist temptations.
Coolidge, Calvin

27.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed [and Hence Clamorous To Be Led To Safety] by an endless series of hobgoblins.
Mencken, H. L.

28.
Honest statesmanship is the wise employment of individual meanness for the public good.
Lincoln, Abraham

29.
Crime does not pay ... as well as politics.
Alfred E. Newman

30.
Ignorance makes most men go into a political party, and shame keeps them from getting out of it.
Halifax, Edward F.

31.
There are no true friends in politics. We are all sharks circling, and waiting, for traces of blood to appear in the water.
Clark, Alan

32.
In politics a straight line is the shortest distance to disaster.
Roche, John P.

33.
Politics, when I am in it, it makes me sick.
Taft, William Howard

34.
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.

35.
The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that position be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one's contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time.
Davis, Angela Y.

36.
Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
Nathan, George Jean

37.
The highest political buzz word is not liberty, equality, fraternity or solidarity; it is service.
Clough, Arthur Hugh

38.
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Rogers, Will

39.
I hope the two wings of the Democratic Party may flap together.
Bryan, William Jennings

40.
Man is by nature a political animal.
Aristotle

41.
A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself.
Disraeli, Benjamin

42.
Politics is applesauce.
Will Rogers

43.
You are pitiful isolated individuals; you are bankrupts; your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on -- into the dustbin of history!
Trotsky, Leon

44.
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.
Mitchell, George J.

45.
Growing older, I have lost the need to be political, which means, in this country, the need to be left. I am driven into grudging toleration of the Conservative Party because it is the party of non-politics, of resistance to politics.
Amis, Kingsley

46.
He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party man.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

47.
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.

48.
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
Aristotle

49.
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.

50.
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
