The example that America knows how to govern itself is one of the compelling aspects of our national security.
Jim MattisPhysical elegance, which is what I am talking about here, comes from the body. This is no superficial matter, but rather the way that man found to honour the way he places his two feet on the ground.
Paulo CoelhoCompromise used to mean that half a loaf was better than no bread. Among modern statesmen it really seems to mean that half a loaf; is better than a whole loaf.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI perhaps ought to say that individually I never was much interested in the Texas question. I never could see much good to come of annexation, inasmuch as they were already a free republican people on our own model.
Abraham LincolnOne does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes a revolution in order to establish a dictatorship.
George OrwellIsrael is a pretty crazy state.
Noam ChomskyI should tie myself to no particular system of society other than of socialism.
Nelson MandelaI am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.
Margaret ThatcherOur Revolution emerged where it was least expected by the empire, in a hemisphere where it was used to acting like an all-powerful master.
Fidel CastroI supported Donald Trump.
John KennedyIf you believe that tax policy has nothing to do with the economy, then you’re pretty much like a rock, only dumber.
John KennedyI’m the only president you’ve got.
Lyndon B. JohnsonGermany has reduced savagery to a science, and this great war for the victorious peace of justice must go on until the German cancer is cut clean out of the world body.
Theodore RooseveltI think America has always been polarized.
Alice WalkerA leader in the Democratic Party is a boss, in the Republican Party he is a leader.
Harry S. TrumanThe mark of a true politician is that he is never at a loss for words because he is always half-expecting to be asked to make a speech.
Richard M. NixonIf you ever injected truth into politics you have no politics.
Will RogersSenator Kerry has been in Washington long enough to take both sides on just about every issue.
George W. BushSo people are talking about revolution. What a revolution it would be to have a woman president.
Madeleine AlbrightI do not believe that government should be in the business of telling women what they should do with their bodies.
Kamala HarrisPeople 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.
Dolores HuertaI believe that in every country the people themselves are more peaceably and liberally inclined than their governments.
Franklin D. RooseveltNo nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.
James MadisonI 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.
Vivienne WestwoodWe’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.
Stephen KingThere’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.
Joe BidenPolitics is the art of controlling your environment.
Hunter S. ThompsonThere are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors… I mean it.
Margaret ThatcherIt’s been my experience in politics that you can try and plan it out: ‚I’m going to hit the three ball which will hit the eight ball.‘ You’ve just got to go run and try to do everything right. And then have a little luck.
John KennedyNo body can be healthful without exercise, neither natural body nor politic, and certainly, to a kingdom or estate, a just and honourable war is the true exercise.
Francis BaconI 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.
James MadisonDemocratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making.
Salvador DaliI belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat.
Will RogersI can’t imagine what this place would be – I can’t imagine what the country would be – with Donald Trump as our president.
Ruth Bader GinsburgI just didn’t want to get out there anymore; I didn’t want to get back into what I call ‚the swamp.‘ And the other reason why is I don’t think it’s good for the presidency for a former president to be opining about his successor. President Obama’s got plenty of critics – and I’m just not gonna be one.
George W. BushThe Cold War isn’t thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn’t sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting.
Richard M. NixonOne 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.
John C. MaxwellDemocracy is only a dream: it should be put in the same category as Arcadia, Santa Claus, and Heaven.
H. L. MenckenThe people are hungry: It is because those in authority eat up too much in taxes.
Lao TzuThe advice I’ve been giving to people all my life – that you may not be interested in the dialectic but the dialectic is interested in you; you can’t give up politics, it won’t give you up – was the advice I should have been taking myself.
Christopher HitchensWe need an adult in the White House. When making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions, a president can’t just pop off or lash out irrationally.
Michelle ObamaAs a matter of fact, I didn’t make a political speech outside of my state for 20 years.
Joe BidenThe welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.
Albert CamusA revolution is not a bed of roses.
Fidel CastroI love being able to be political without any political affiliation.
Lady GagaI have no further use for America. I wouldn’t go back there if Jesus Christ was President.
Charlie ChaplinFreedom does not die from frontal attack. It dies because men in power no longer believe in a system based upon liberty.
Herbert HooverI don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will RogersKathleen Wynne and her band of radical-left cronies think they have a handle on what constitutes human identity and also what should constitute human morality. And I think that that’s being pushed in a manner in schools that’s completely reprehensible. It’s not education, in my estimation. It’s a form of indoctrination.
Jordan PetersonWhen the President does it, that means that it’s not illegal.
Richard M. NixonAs capitalism falters, the rich move their money out of the country, violence increases, and politicians promising prosperity are elected.
Robert KiyosakiCommodities 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.
Robert KiyosakiKings will be tyrants from policy, when subjects are rebels from principle.
Edmund BurkeObama, of course, outspent McCain.
Noam ChomskyMan is not free unless government is limited.
Ronald ReaganCommunism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.
Billy GrahamCertainly 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.
Richard M. NixonRude 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.
Hunter S. ThompsonThe care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.
Thomas JeffersonAdmiration of the proletariat, like that of dams, power stations, and aeroplanes, is part of the ideology of the machine age.
Bertrand Russell
