3 December 2020 Thomas Jefferson Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it.
3 December 2020 Liev Schreiber My publicist told me not to talk about politics but, yes, I think we have a president who stole the election.
3 December 2020 George Jean Nathan Politics is the diversion of trivial men who, when they succeed at it, become important in the eyes of more trivial men.
3 December 2020 George C. Wallace After much prayerful consideration, I feel that I must say I have climbed my last political mountain.
3 December 2020 Woodrow Wilson I have long enjoyed the friendship and companionship of Republicans because I am by instinct a teacher, and I would like to teach them something.
3 December 2020 Vince Cable And humility in politics means accepting that one party doesn’t have all the answers recognising that working in partnership is progress not treachery.
3 December 2020 Jane Goodall I’m highly political. I spend an awful lot of time in the U.S. trying to influence decision-makers. But I don’t feel in tune with British politics.
3 December 2020 Lindsey Graham What’s going on in the Senate is kind of a politics of escalation. We’re getting sort of like the Mideast: pay back everybody when you’re in charge.
3 December 2020 Naguib Mahfouz I’ve never worked in politics, never been a member of an official committee or a political party.
3 December 2020 Ron Fournier I’ve been leading newsrooms for a while now and it’s been an honor serving as Editor in Chief of N.J., but I really think that my best shot at moving the needle in politics is by getting close to it – by reading, reporting, tweeting and writing.
3 December 2020 Caroline Kennedy Well there’s nobody who has a more supportive husband than I do, and he has a business that he runs, and it’s his own business, so he has work to do, my kids have school to do, I mean, people have – there are other things in life besides politics.
3 December 2020 Eliot Spitzer I think President Obama could have handled politics and policies differently. But he has been decisive, strong, and consistent – important qualities in a president. Mitt Romney is indeed an Etch A Sketch, the antithesis of leadership.
3 December 2020 Sandra Day O'Connor It is a measure of the framers’ fear that a passing majority might find it expedient to compromise 4th Amendment values that these values were embodied in the Constitution itself.
3 December 2020 Jack Kemp My passion for ideas is not matched with a passion for partisan or electoral politics.
3 December 2020 E. B. White Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time.
3 December 2020 Todd Gitlin I first came to think about media and politics in the late 1960s, having observed some distortions up close, but since then I wouldn’t say that my personal experience has remained an important motive for my writing about media.
3 December 2020 Paul Wellstone It is the belief that extremes and excesses of inequality must be reduced so that each person is free to fully develop his or her full potential. This is why we take precious time out of our lives and give it to politics.
3 December 2020 Roger Nash Baldwin So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we’ll be called a democracy.
3 December 2020 Thomas Jefferson I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.
3 December 2020 Kinky Friedman Politics is the only field in which the more experience you have, the worse you get.
3 December 2020 Talib Kweli We’re in an illusion about what our role is in world politics and foreign affairs, and our policies are killing and destroying and doing a lot of things that we are not aware of.
3 December 2020 Alveda King America wants solutions. America wants a leader. No more tabloid politics.
