Politics Quotes

Politics, life, and business are not spectator sports. You have to get involved to get ahead. Most importantly, when you reach that level of success, keep the door open and the ladder down for others to follow Picture Quote #1

As so often happens in politics, what appears to be politically expedient for those in power rarely overlaps with the public interest. The lesser evils of the regime become entrenched, while the greater good is never realized Picture Quote #1

At 23 years old, I came into politics as a dragon slayer. At 63 years old, I’m going out as a dragon Picture Quote #1

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage Picture Quote #1

I would not compromise my principles for politics. You’re saying, will it become politically unpopular to have the position I’m having? If it does, so be it. I don’t compromise my principles for politics Picture Quote #1

In politics, you have your word and your friends; go back on either and you’re dead Picture Quote #1

Together, the property rights and public choice schools show only that, if you start by assuming a purely individualistic model of human behavior and treat politics as if it were a pale imitation of the market, democracy will, indeed, make no sense Picture Quote #1

In politics, reality and appearance are of equal importance. You cannot attend to one and neglect the other. A man must determine both what he is, and what others believe him to be Picture Quote #1

There are insistent calls for autonomy, appeals for a new resource ethic based on the tradition of the commons, demands for the reinstatement of cultural primacy over corporate hegemony, and a rising demand for radical transparency in politics and corporate decision making. It has been said that environmentalism failed as a movement, or worse yet, died. It is the other way around. Everyone on earth will be an environmentalist in the not too distant future, driven there by necessity and experience Picture Quote #1

It’s important not to take yourself too seriously,... and I think sometimes people take us a lot more seriously than we take ourselves, especially when it comes to politics. Politics, for me, is a reflection of the world I live in. But love is just as important as politics to me. They both exist in the world, you know? And if you don’t reflect the entire world around you, then you’re leaving something out Picture Quote #1

Politics? Boring? Politics is history on the wing! What other sphere of human activity calls forth all that is most noble in men’s souls, and all that is most base? Or has such excitement? Or more vividly exposes our strengths and weaknesses? Boring? You might as well say that life itself is boring! Picture Quote #1

I still paint. I love the joy that color can give to our lives and to our communities. I try to bring something of the artist in me to my politics Picture Quote #1

In writing... remember that the biggest stories are not written about wars, or about politics, or even murders. The biggest stories are written about the things which draw human beings closer together Picture Quote #1

What you’re seeing is a loss of confidence in institutions and their legitimacy because they are not seen as delivering. It’s hardly a surprise that it’s producing a degree of paralysis. Politics becomes very reactive and it’s hard to deal with the bigger issues Picture Quote #1

Defeat in itself was part and parcel of the great gambling game of politics. A man who could not accept it and try again was not of the stuff of which leaders are made Picture Quote #1

The only thing worse than a silly politician analyzing art is a silly artist analyzing politics Picture Quote #1

Speeches are more important in politics than talking points, as a rule, and are better remembered Picture Quote #1

Politics is like navigation in a sea without charts, and wise men live the lives of pilgrims Picture Quote #1

Identity politics divides us; fiction connects. One is interested in sweeping generalizations, the other in nuances. One draws boundaries, the other recognizes no frontiers. Identity politics is made of solid bricks; fiction is flowing water Picture Quote #1

We’re a strange animal, so often destroying what we love for selfish ends, and yet tantalized by the sense that there are other choices if only we had strength to make them. In the politics of 400 years ago, we find the same questions we battle with today Picture Quote #1

What I did, when I did it, was honest; now, through changed conditions, what I did may or may not be called honest. Politics demand, therefore, that I be brought to trial; but what is really being brought to trial is the system I represented Picture Quote #1

They want politics and think it will save them. At best, it gives direction to their numbed desires. But there is no politics but the manipulation of power through language. Thus the latter’s constant debasement Picture Quote #1

The ideas and principles of democracy should not be limited to politics, but must pervade all areas of social life Picture Quote #1

Revenge is not a good thing. Revenge is like politics: one thing always leads to another until bad has become worse, and worse has become worst Picture Quote #1

Politics matters. Ideas matter. Democracy matters, because all of us need to be able to make a difference Picture Quote #1

Is there a way to discuss climate change without politics or religion getting in the way? Picture Quote #1

Movements have narratives. They tell stories, because they are not just about rearranging economics and politics. They also rearrange meaning. And they’re not just about redistributing the goods. They’re about figuring out what is good Picture Quote #1

A better way to mutual respect is to engage directly with the moral convictions citizens bring to public life, rather than to require that people leave their deepest moral convictions outside politics before they enter Picture Quote #1

There is a tendency to think that if we engage too directly with moral questions in politics, that’s a recipe for disagreement, and for that matter, a recipe for intolerance and coercion Picture Quote #1

If politics mean…the effort to secure through legislative action better conditions of life for the people, greater opportunities for our children and other people’s children…then it most assuredly is a woman’s job as much as it is a man’s job Picture Quote #1
