Trump has no sense of shame.

I found that the corridors of power in Delhi were littered with lobbies of various kinds.

I believe that Catholics involved in politics carry the values of their religion within them, but have the mature awareness and expertise to implement them. The Church will never go beyond its task of expressing and disseminating its values, at least as long as I’m here.

I’m substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They’re sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they’re hitting back and forth.

It was the Congress that imposed ‚Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,‘ it was certainly my position, my recommendation to get us out of an even worse outcome that could have occurred.

I don’t really regard myself as a political figure.

I think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can’t be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they’re not getting some other matter.

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

I stay out of politics because if I begin thinking too much about politics, I’ll probably… drop writing children’s books and become a political cartoonist again.

It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.

History reminds us that dictators and despots arise during times of severe economic crisis.

I’m not a big politics guy.

With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.

I have no ambition to govern men; it is a painful and thankless office.

A good Catholic meddles in politics, offering the best of himself, so that those who govern can govern. But what is the best that we can offer to those who govern? Prayer!

I hate all politics. I don’t like either political party. One should not belong to them – one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking.

If you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics – a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage – surely that proves that you are in the right?

A Conservative Government is an organized hypocrisy.

In the political system, we are a team; politics and bureaucracy, we are a team. The politicians, bureaucrats and the people, we are a team.

Commodities such as gold and silver have a world market that transcends national borders, politics, religions, and race. A person may not like someone else’s religion, but he’ll accept his gold.

I don’t think President Trump is a racist.

It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.

To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.

If men were angels, no government would be necessary.

Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.

I have always hated bowling, and I don’t mind admitting it.

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.

There’s a lot of fuss on the Left about election irregularities, like, you know, the voting machines were tampered with, they didn’t count the votes right, and so on. That’s all accurate and of some importance, but of far more importance is the fact that elections just don’t take place, not in any meaningful sense of the term ‚election.‘

I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.

Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.

I once told Nixon that the Presidency is like being a jackass caught in a hail storm. You’ve got to just stand there and take it.

Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.

Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he’d lie just to keep his hand in.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

I have no further use for America. I wouldn’t go back there if Jesus Christ was President.

The last thing I wanted to do was to be a wartime President.

I consider myself a moderate Republican. I have very, very moderate social views, and I’m pretty strong on, on defense matters.

I neither will aspire to nor will I accept, the position of president of the council of state and commander in chief.

I kept a very full diary of my relationship with Nixon, for some strange reason, until he became president.

There’s only one person in this race who will be there, who’s always been there for you, and that’s Hillary Clinton’s life story.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

I don’t think I would run for president.

About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.

To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea.

I seldom think of politics more than eighteen hours a day.

No man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent.

One of the roles of the Presidency is to lead a political party. Having a President in office is usually a huge advantage to a party because it gives the party a mouthpiece and an advocate at the highest level.

Nowadays, politically, everybody is promising everything. That’s the only way you can get elected.

If somebody’s dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they’re going to have to take what they get.

While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government, in the short run, it is among the most fragile.

The idea that putting Americans ‚first‘ requires a withdrawal from the world is simply wrongheaded because a retreat would achieve exactly the opposite for our citizens.

Finality is not the language of politics.

I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

You’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.

I wish I could make music about politics. I feel like it’s such an art and a talent that I admire tremendously, but when I step into the studio, I step out of the real world, and it’s therapeutic.

Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what’s going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?

I would not give half a guinea to live under one form of government other than another. It is of no moment to the happiness of an individual.

Ever since the beginning of rock and roll, there’s been an Axl Rose. And it’s just boring. It’s totally boring to me.
