3 December 2020 Jon Huntsman, Jr. Politics is a lot of serendipity. You’re in the right place and the right time and you’ve got the right message, and it either connects for you or, or it doesn’t.
3 December 2020 Stanley Baldwin You will find in politics that you are much exposed to the attribution of false motive. Never complain and never explain.
3 December 2020 Eric Alterman The ability of the 1 percent to buy politicians and regulators is nothing new in American politics – just as inequality has been a permanent part of our economic system. This is true of virtually all political and economic systems.
3 December 2020 Whitfield Diffie People meet in bars after work all over the world and talk about the great problems of life and death and the world and politics and they don’t take themselves seriously. They can do nothing else except chat about these things in bars after work.
3 December 2020 Enrique Iglesias Yeah, exactly, you can talk about politics in music, you can talk about something else, but that’s always going to change, and love is never going to change.
3 December 2020 Sachin Tendulkar I am a sportsman and not a politician. I am a sportsman and will always remain one. I am not going to enter politics giving up cricket, which is my life. I will continue to play cricket.
3 December 2020 Ambrose Bierce Conservative, n: A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal who wishes to replace them with others.
3 December 2020 Gerhard Schroder I can’t let important policy decisions hinge on the fact that an election is coming up every 90 days.
3 December 2020 Antonio Tabucchi My job is to look at what politics is doing, not be a politician myself.
3 December 2020 Jimmy Fallon Politics is pop. Our job as comedians – especially me, as a late-night talk show, which is a broader audience – is to amplify what we think America is thinking.
3 December 2020 Eric Sevareid The difference between the men and the boys in politics is, and always has been, that the boys want to be something, while the men want to do something.
3 December 2020 Wilbur Smith I hate politics. I like to write about it, but to get involved in it, to try and make a lot of ignorant people do what you want them to do, waste of time. Go and write a book. It’s more important and it’ll last longer.
3 December 2020 Edward Koch I know many writers who first dictate passages, then polish what they have dictated. I speak, then I polish – occasionally I do windows.
3 December 2020 Jennifer M. Granholm Rush Limbaugh, we expect nonsense from him. But the Vatican, that’s another story. When the Vatican is so threatened that it launches attacks on nuns, well, you know what they say in politics, a hit dog hollers.
3 December 2020 David Miliband I’ve committed myself to serve my constituents in South Shields and I have committed myself to British politics.
3 December 2020 Mike Huckabee Politics has become unbelievably and unfortunately way too much about how much money is involved rather than what kind of ideas are involved.
3 December 2020 Hilary Duff Every week I read about myself in a magazine, about something that I haven’t done or some place that I’ve never been or don’t even know. It’s just gossip, rumors, egos, and politics.
3 December 2020 Kathleen Turner I’m not very active politically. The causes I work on offer immediate, practical, accessible help, and politics has never meant that to me.
3 December 2020 William E. Gladstone Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear.
3 December 2020 Hillary Clinton I think that you can disagree with people and debate over their positions with issues without engaging in the politics of personal destruction.
3 December 2020 Suzanne Farrell I think especially in a world where you have so little say about what goes on in your life, or in the politics of the world around you, it is wonderful to go into that studio, and tell yourself what to do.
3 December 2020 Susan George There’s people coming in who’ve never done any politics at all, who’ve never been in a trade union, they’ve never been in a political party, they’ve never done anything, but they do feel a kind of urgency.
3 December 2020 Charles Caleb Colton In religion as in politics it so happens that we have less charity for those who believe half our creed, than for those who deny the whole of it.
