The mob is the mother of tyrants.

There might be some serious fun in politics.

Empire and liberty.

Hyperinflation can take virtually your entire life’s savings, without the government having to bother raising the official tax rate at all.

If the government ever imposes a tax on books – and I wouldn’t put it past them – I’m in dead trouble.

Suppose I criticise Iran. What impact does that have? The only impact it has is in fortifying those who want to carry out policies I don’t agree with, like bombing.

I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.

The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation.

There’s nothing like white trash at the White House.

I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African American.

The artist part of me always wants to be appreciated. I read every review. But I never wanted to seek validation by awards or anything controlled by politics.

People were asleep, but I think they’re waking up now. Trump has given everybody a good kick, and people are waking up and realizing they’ve got to get involved.

Syntax, my lad. It has been restored to the highest place in the republic.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.

My government is working for the common man. Our priority is the poor of the country. We want good governance through a dynamic and seamless government.

Netscape was able to get the government working on its behalf.

I’m going to be so much better a president for having been at the CIA that you’re not going to believe it.

I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.

When you are president, being able to clearly articulate detailed plans to help the people of this country is a good thing. Knowing what you’re doing is a good thing. And let me tell you, Hillary Clinton absolutely knows what she’s doing.

Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning.

I think Hillary Clinton is a phenomenal woman, and I’ve gotten to know her, and I think she’s made some pretty major contributions over the course of her life.

The thought of being President frightens me and I do not think I want the job.

The United States Constitution has proved itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written.

I feel good because I believe I have made progress in rebuilding the people’s trust in their government.

Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicization of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanization of politics.

Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.

What Britain needs is an iron lady.

Republicans have been accused of abandoning the poor. It’s the other way around. They never vote for us.

This is pure speculation, but for a period of time, a lot of getting into a party was through fundraising and volunteer work, and Republican women had more time to do that than democratic women, who were out there getting jobs.

I can’t imagine what this place would be – I can’t imagine what the country would be – with Donald Trump as our president.

By 1960, the South Africans knew that they were becoming a pariah state.

Politics is 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.

Lincoln said you cannot be President without spending some item on your knees. I have repeated that and a bunch of Atheists got all over me. Wait a minute. Does that mean that you cannot be President if you are an Atheist? I say yea that does mean that.

A radical generally meant a man who thought he could somehow pull up the root without affecting the flower. A conservative generally meant a man who wanted to conserve everything except his own reason for conserving anything.

It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.

The government has completed the entire process to do away with interviews for lower rank jobs. There will be no requirement of interview for Group D,C and B non-gazetted posts in central government.

Personally, I’d like to see more of our leaders take a technocratic approach to solving our biggest problems.

If you think you can slander a woman into loving you, or a man into voting for you, try it till you are satisfied.

I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the Great Emancipator.

I always tell people that religious institutions and political institutions should be separate. So while I’m telling people this, I myself continue with them combined. Hypocrisy!

To some degree it matters who’s in office, but it matters more how much pressure they’re under from the public.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.

I disagree with any policy that would turn America’s back on people who are fleeing harm. I frankly believe that it is contrary to everything that we have symbolically and actually said we stand for.

Liberals seem to assume that, if you don’t believe in their particular political solutions, then you don’t really care about the people that they claim to want to help.

Real politics are the possession and distribution of power.

Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.

No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition.

I think America has always been polarized.

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth!

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.

The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government.

Taxation is just a sophisticated way of demanding money with menaces.

The terrorist action of 9/11 gave birth to President Obama’s entry to the White House. Not directly, but indirectly.

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
