Politics Quotes

If we remain grotesquely unequal, we shall lose all sense of fraternity: and fraternity, for all its fatuity as a political objective, turns out to be the necessary condition of politics itself Picture Quote #1

If active or concerned citizens forfeit politics, they thereby abandon their society to its most mediocre and venal public servants Picture Quote #1

We will meet our challenges head on and we will do it by rejecting the politics of mediocrity and corruption. You voted for change; I intend to deliver it... I will govern as a reformer Picture Quote #1

Business is a useful tool in politics, but it’s not enough. You need much more than to be a good businessman, to be a good politician Picture Quote #1

I despise politics. There is no room for it in a company. My life is going to be way too short to deal with that Picture Quote #1

People don’t want children to know what they need to know. They want their kids to know what they ought to need to know. If you’re a teacher you’re in a constant battle with mildly deluded adults who think the world will get better if you imagine it is better. You want to teach about sex? Fine, but only when they’re old enough to do it. You want to talk politics? Sure, but nothing modern. Religion? So long as you don’t actually think about it. Otherwise some furious mob will come to your house and burn you for a witch Picture Quote #1

The attempt to divide art and politics is a bourgeois which says good poetry, art, cannot be political, but since everything is … political, even an artist or work that claims not to have any politics is making a political statement by that act Picture Quote #1

There is no difference between religion and politics. Both involve lies and fanatical beliefs that generaly defy logic... Just like rock climbing Picture Quote #1

Looking back on 200 years of feminist agitation in this country, we’ve got to get it that the moral high ground doesn’t get us anything. Pleading with powerful men never gets us what we need. Talking doesn’t do it. Being right doesn’t do it. Hardball politics does it... and a political strategy Picture Quote #1

Here is an old tradition badly in need of return: You have to earn your way into politics. You should go have a life, build a string of accomplishments, then enter public service Picture Quote #1

I have always believed the thesis that one’s politics and the character of one’s intellectual work are inseparable Picture Quote #1

We can either passively continue on the road to utter domestication and destruction or turn in the direction of joyful upheaval, passionate and feral embrace of wildness and life that aims at dancing on the ruins of clocks, computers and that failure of imagination and will called work. Can we justify our lives by anything less than such a politics of rage and dreams? Picture Quote #1

Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing more than medicine on a grand scale Picture Quote #1

Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing else but medicine on a large scale. Medicine, as a social science, as the science of human beings, has the obligation to point out problems and to attempt their theoretical solution: the politician, the practical anthropologist, must find the means for their actual solution. The physicians are the natural attorneys of the poor, and social problems fall to a large extent within their jurisdiction Picture Quote #1

If we do not allow free thinking in chemistry or biology, why should we allow it in morals or politics? Picture Quote #1

If you want to have any success in politics, sing softly and carry a big guitar Picture Quote #1

War is not a means to an end, it is the end, whereas politics is merely the hiatus between wars Picture Quote #1

Cynics who say power is all that counts in politics forget that power without ideas is just improvisation Picture Quote #1

Politics is good; when it works properly, disagreements get solved without people beating each other up. But when a regime knows its days are numbered, there’s always the chance it may use its position to change the rules and make the debate it is losing irrelevant Picture Quote #1

There are two things that are important in politics. The first is money and I can’t remember what the second one is Picture Quote #1

The socialism I believe in isn’t really politics. It is a way of living. It is humanity. I believe the only way to live and to be truly successful is by collective effort, with everyone working for each other, everyone helping each other, and everyone having a share of the rewards at the end of the day. That might be asking a lot, but it’s the way I see football and the way I see life Picture Quote #1

Politics is not about power. Politics is not about money. Politics is not about winning for the sake of winning. Politics is about the improvement of people’s lives Picture Quote #1

Even if a poet writes about sitting in a glass house drinking tea, it reflects politics Picture Quote #1

If I have tried to bring anything to federal politics, it is the idea that hope and optimism should be at their heart Picture Quote #1

Well, on lots of small things we could have done better, but on all the big things we called it right. You should make less mistakes as you get older, and I became a councillor back in 1971, so if by this stage in politics I’m making lots of big mistakes, then I shouldn’t be here Picture Quote #1

I feel sanguine enough to say that there has never been a better set of conditions for open democratic politics because there is no need for unified front politics Picture Quote #1

Peron had a wise saying. In politics, you can recover from anything except looking like a fool Picture Quote #1

Is it a coincidence that stories from the private life became more popular just as the grand hope for public redemption through revolution was beginning to sour? I witnessed a similar shift in taste in my own time. In the 1960s, while a hopeful vision of a just society arose again, countless poems and plays concerning politics and public life were written, read, and performed. But after the hope diminished and public life seemed less and less trustworthy, this subject was less in style Picture Quote #1

Politics is a delicate business. I understand that well. But if a party is not willing to stand up for what is right, does it deserve to win back control of the government? Picture Quote #1

Mixing pop and politics he asks me what the use is / I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses Picture Quote #1
