3 December 2020 Brian Mulroney In politics, madame, you need two things: friends, but above all an enemy.
3 December 2020 John Key I was really fascinated by politics. It always has been part of my view that politics really is a calling or you wouldn’t go into it, because it’s demanding and potentially has a toll on you and your family.
3 December 2020 Chris Christie Everyone wants to demagogue everyone else. That may be good politics, but it’s awful policy.
3 December 2020 Charles Kennedy Yes, you need substance in politics – but I think your style also says something about how you arrive at some of your conclusions.
3 December 2020 Elisabeth Shue Robert Kennedy was such an inspiring figure. His interest in politics seemed to come not from a desire for power, but from a need to help our society live up to its ideals.
3 December 2020 David Guterson I was totally absorbed in the real world, the politics, the history, the news, and I just couldn’t find my way into the fictional world… When I finally could return to writing the novel, it was in fits and starts.
3 December 2020 Bob Geldof I was really lucky that I came to puberty at a time when music and politics were completely intertwined.
3 December 2020 Samuel L. Jackson I voted for Barack because he was black. ‘Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people – because they look like them… That’s American politics, pure and simple.
3 December 2020 James Buchan We read too much Shakespeare at school, and view our parliamentary politics as dynastic drama, in which an impatient crown prince frets at his long subordination and begins to scheme for the throne he knows he merits, was promised and has earned.
3 December 2020 Angela Merkel That is why everyone in politics, and we do it, must make sure that they do not depend on one single interest group. A good compromise is one where everybody makes a contribution.
3 December 2020 Donald Rumsfeld In politics, every day is filled with numerous opportunities for serious error. Enjoy it.
3 December 2020 T. D. Jakes I like to see myself as a bridge builder, that is me building bridges between people, between races, between cultures, between politics, trying to find common ground.
3 December 2020 Karl Rove I know enough about European politics to know you’ve got a lot of crazy people who make their way onto the ballot.
3 December 2020 George McGovern Politics is an act of faith you have to show some kind of confidence in the intellectual and moral capacity of the public.
3 December 2020 Youssou N'Dour Politics is politics art is art. If you play a political role, you have to stop being an artist.
3 December 2020 Henry Adams Politics, as a practise, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.
3 December 2020 Russell Baker Reporters thrive on the world’s misfortune. For this reason they often take an indecent pleasure in events that dismay the rest of humanity.
3 December 2020 Mitch McConnell Things happen in American politics in the political center. If the President will meet us in the center, there are things we can accomplish.
3 December 2020 James Carville I think Ralph Nader is the biggest liar in American politics when he said it didn’t matter who was president.
3 December 2020 Paul Wellstone I don’t think politics has anything to do with left, right, or center. It has to do with trying to do right by people.
3 December 2020 Angela Merkel On the one hand, the financial projection is on the agenda – we will see if this problem can be resolved or not. I think it is a right idea to stage a special summit, which would deal with the question of priorities of European politics.
