3 December 2020 Louis D. Brandeis The most important political office is that of the private citizen.
3 December 2020 Otto von Bismarck Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.
3 December 2020 Chris Christie It’s not that I’m universally loved. We know I’m not in New Jersey. But what they do say in New Jersey is, ‘We like him, and we think he’s telling us the truth.’ I think we need to have that type of politics on the national level.
3 December 2020 Jim Lehrer In my case, I was covering politics in Texas as a newspaper man in the 1960’s.
3 December 2020 Sonny Perdue I call it people-to-people politics and that’s what politics should be about, reaching out and helping one another and touching one another about what we’re going to do.
3 December 2020 Helen Gahagan I became active in politics because I saw the possibility, if we all sat back and did nothing, of a world in which there would no longer be any stages for actors to act on.
3 December 2020 Edmund Burke When bad men combine, the good must associate else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.
3 December 2020 Enrique Iglesias I care about politics just like any other citizen. I’m against the war in Iraq, or any type of war.
3 December 2020 Sandra Day O'Connor My hope is that 10 years from now, after I’ve been across the street at work for a while, they’ll all be glad they gave me that wonderful vote.
3 December 2020 Theresa May I was in the Commons recently and saw a young lady wearing a nice pair of shoes. I said I liked them and she said my shoes were the reason she became involved in politics.
3 December 2020 Harold Pinter There’s a tradition in British intellectual life of mocking any non-political force that gets involved in politics, especially within the sphere of the arts and the theatre.
3 December 2020 Jeane Kirkpatrick I was a woman in a man’s world. I was a Democrat in a Republican administration. I was an intellectual in a world of bureaucrats. I talked differently. This may have made me a bit like an ink blot.
3 December 2020 George Papandreou I have always said I will be in politics to serve as best as I can and it will take me wherever it will take me.
3 December 2020 Adlai E. Stevenson We mean by ‘politics’ the people’s business – the most important business there is.
3 December 2020 Zachary Levi I believe in incentivizing people. If you can incentivize people in anything, whether it’s in politics in life in spirituality in business just take care of folks. Incentivize them and all of a sudden it’s amazing the difference that you’ll see.
3 December 2020 Dean Koontz I try not to spend too much time on partisan politics. Life’s too short for that. I don’t really believe that there have been many human problems solved by politics.
3 December 2020 Fidel Castro The revolution is a dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters.
3 December 2020 David Frum To balance China, the democracies will need new friends – and India with its fast-growing economy, youthful population, and democratic politics seems the obvious candidate.
3 December 2020 Jon Meacham A wise nation should cultivate a political spirit that allows opponents to cooperate without fearing an automatic execution from their core supporters. Who knew that the real rogues in American politics would be the ones who dare to get along?
3 December 2020 Richard Dreyfuss We mistake politics for legislative debate. You can be passionate without being personal.
3 December 2020 Charles de Secondat When the body of the people is possessed of the supreme power, it is called a democracy.
3 December 2020 William Gilbert I always voted at my party’s call, and I never thought of thinking for myself at all.
3 December 2020 Patricia Hewitt I think he was absolutely right not to go to UN last week… First things first – that is, values and people here in their local communities, and remembering all politics is local, and trusting people more.
