Facts are not liberals‘ strong suit. Rhetoric is.

We’ve switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics – trying to play a serious part in the world – to a culture that’s really entertainment-based.

The people are hungry: It is because those in authority eat up too much in taxes.

We are not going to be satisfied by politicians saying ‚we support you‘ and then walking away. We won’t be satisfied until they meet our demands and act. That’s why simply taking a selfie or posting support on Twitter isn’t enough. That’s why we have to keep striking.

A Conservative Government is an organized hypocrisy.

People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I’m not a crook. I earned everything I’ve got.

Israel is a pretty crazy state.

Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.

Colonies do not cease to be colonies because they are independent.

The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all.

I am often asked if, when I was secretary, I had problems with foreign men. That is not who I had problems with, because I arrived in a very large plane that said United States of America. I had more problems with the men in our own government.

Politics is not a game. It is an earnest business.

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

Obviously, I’m no fan of the radical left.

I do not believe we will have a war with Iran.

I think I was identified as a failed president because I wasn’t re-elected.

Rude people will now & then ask me why I think I know so much about Politics. I tell them it’s because I’m Smart… But that is a lie: The real reason is because I’m an incurable Gambling addict.

Our friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right. They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan.

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer ‚Present‘ or ‚Not guilty.‘

No part of the education of a politician is more indispensable than the fighting of elections.

I loved being Secretary of State, that’s probably evident to everyone who watched me.

Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.

I have never really thought that the Left was much in ‚array‘ as far as political purposes were concerned.

Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do.

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

A bureaucrat is a Democrat who holds some office that a Republican wants.

Putin sought to destabilize Ukraine’s economy.

I don’t envy or much respect people who are completely politicised.

Now that the House of Commons is trying to become useful, it does a great deal of harm.

As capitalism falters, the rich move their money out of the country, violence increases, and politicians promising prosperity are elected.

Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.

Politics is the womb in which war develops.

I have not endorsed Trump and will not do so.

Collecting facts is important. Knowledge is important. But if you don’t have an imagination to use the knowledge, civilization is nowhere.

A President cannot always be popular.

The only bipartisanship you ever see is when they finally sign a bill and everybody says, ‚Gee, isn’t that wonderful?‘

I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I’m a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.

The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.

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.‘

The presidency has many problems, but boredom is the least of them.

In my view of the present aspect of affairs, there is no need of bloodshed and war. There is no necessity for it. I am not in favor of such a course, and I may say in advance, there will be no blood shed unless it be forced upon the government. The government will not use force unless force is used against it.

Real politics are the possession and distribution of power.

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

I think politicians really go with the tide.

I don’t usually admire Sarah Palin, but when she was making fun of this ‚hopey changey stuff,‘ she was right: there was nothing there.

Princes and governments are far more dangerous than other elements within society.

Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.

Obama’s not Jesus. He can’t walk on water.

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

The President’s post should not be politicised. Once a president is elected, he is above politics.

Ronald Reagan used to alarm his Soviet counterparts by saying that surely they’d both unite against an invasion from Mars.

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.

There is too much government today. We’ve got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.

It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.

I am not a crook.

The Republican Party has become overwhelmingly so extreme that it’s hardly a traditional political party anymore.

If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?

I think, under President Obama, who was a really bright guy – I didn’t agree with a lot of his politics – but we got to the point internationally where our friends didn’t trust us. They were confused. And our enemies didn’t quite respect us.

Magnanimity in politics is not seldom the truest wisdom; and a great empire and little minds go ill together.
