Politics Quotes

Can I actually make a difference? Can I get people to believe in politics once again? Can I get people to accept more complex answers to complex questions? I know I can. I know that’s what I do very well Picture Quote #1

I’m just sick of the way things are. We’re in an age in which we can’t live without accepting the logic of the market. Contemporary politics is all about short-term pragmatism. We have abandoned religion and philosophy... What we have left is the automatisation of doing what the market tells us Picture Quote #1

I have never taken a job or done a job where I felt I needed to leave my conscience at the door. One of the great things about not being in politics as a career is that I can do this job without thinking about my career. I can think about what we’re trying to do, what we’re trying to accomplish and what we’re trying to leave Picture Quote #1

While we face economic obstacles that challenge every decision made in Washington, decisions made merely for political gain must stop. It’s time to restore civility in Congress. It’s time for action where action is needed - all politics aside Picture Quote #1

I have always been interested in politics. I was in the student union before, very active Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t a particularly brilliant student, but on the other hand, I was very active in Student Union affairs and in student politics Picture Quote #1

Sitting at a candidate rally is similar to sitting in a ballyard. Both give you the opportunity to assess the technical metrics and reflect on the intangibles - what baseball calls ‘make up’ and politics calls ‘character’ - the leadership, talent and maturity to add value to a venture Picture Quote #1

The Philippines, it has a politics of patronage. Family and favors, in addition to the old cliche of guns, goons and gold, really do still hold a lot of sway Picture Quote #1

The advice I’ve been giving to people all my life - that you may not be interested in the dialectic but the dialectic is interested in you; you can’t give up politics, it won’t give you up - was the advice I should have been taking myself Picture Quote #1

Culture is about humanizing people. You look at the African-American civil rights movement, you look at the LGBT rights movement - the culture changed before the politics did Picture Quote #1

There are certain occupations - probably, most prominently, politics - where there would be a bias against somebody who’s agnostic or atheist in running for office Picture Quote #1

Dr. Ben Carson has the most moving personal narrative in modern presidential politics. His mother, one of 24 children, had only a third-grade education. She was married at age 13, bore Ben and his brother, and then raised the boys as an impoverished single mother in Detroit. As a young boy, Carson was a terrible student Picture Quote #1

Any time scientists disagree, it’s because we have insufficient data. Then we can agree on what kind of data to get; we get the data; and the data solves the problem. Either I’m right, or you’re right, or we’re both wrong. And we move on. That kind of conflict resolution does not exist in politics or religion Picture Quote #1

We need a government, not politics. Because there’s too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization Picture Quote #1

Would that the simple maxim, that honesty is the best policy, might be laid to heart; that a sense of the true aim of life might elevate the tone of politics and trade till public and private honor become identical Picture Quote #1

First and foremost, The Quiet Invasion is a first contact story. What would we do if we actually found evidence of alien life out there? It’s also about politics Picture Quote #1

True partisans draft legislation that gives themselves everything and their enemies nothing. They love bills that repulse and even disgust the other side. Today’s politics have become an all-or-nothing, black-or-white, zero-sum game - it’s not a contact sport but a blood sport Picture Quote #1

When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better. After all, nobody’s right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day Picture Quote #1

My Methodist upbringing was very formative in my politics. I was born in 1969, and there was all this ecumenical ‘we’re in this together’ sensitivity that was part of the United Methodist Church in the 1970s Picture Quote #1

There was a time I wanted to go into politics. And so all of a sudden, here I am, I guess. I’m in the thick of it Picture Quote #1

Apparently God takes reception of Holy Communion seriously. Apparently some things are more sacred than politics. Apparently it’s all or nothing when it comes to being Catholic Picture Quote #1

We should vigorously debate policy differences. We have too much all-or-nothing in American politics Picture Quote #1
