If you’re a quarterback, you want everything on your shoulders. You want to be the one to make the decisions.
Tom BradyWe are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.
Lyndon B. JohnsonA gaffe in Washington is someone telling the truth, and telling the truth has never hurt me.
Joe BidenI have been very happy in the House of Representatives.
George H. W. BushIn politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

Ralph Waldo EmersonNo man will ever carry out of the Presidency the reputation which carried him into it.
Thomas JeffersonI said on the equality side of it, that it is essential to a woman’s equality with man that she be the decision-maker, that her choice be controlling.
Ruth Bader GinsburgMuch publishing is done through politics, friends, and natural stupidity.
Charles BukowskiYou can’t get a contemporary story about what is going on inside government, and how society sees itself, on American TV.
David HareIt’s easier to aim to please and say what others want to hear than to form an opinion and fight for it, even if it means taking a risk or losing your job.
Robert KiyosakiI don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will RogersMy parents had us in church every Sunday, every Wednesday. It was more of a tradition at that point; I didn’t have a personal relationship with the Lord until I went to the altar call one Sunday, and the youth pastor told us to make a decision for ourselves.
Stephen CurryI don’t really regard myself as a political figure.
Jordan PetersonObamacare sucks, it can’t be fixed.
John KennedyPolitics 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.
Winston ChurchillHanging out with politicians and corporations is very unhip work. But I think that the U2 audience have turned out to be incredibly subtle in their understanding.
BonoDo you realize the responsibility I carry? I’m the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.
John F. KennedyThe New Deal repudiation of democracy has left the Republican Party alone the guardian of the Ark of the Covenant with its charter of freedom.
Herbert HooverWhile democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government, in the short run, it is among the most fragile.
Madeleine AlbrightI’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.
Jane GoodallIf you call yourself a leader, then you have to be decisive. If you’re decisive, then you have the chance to be a leader. These are two sides to the same coin.
Narendra ModiAny man can call time out, but no man can say how long the time out will be.
Kurt VonnegutThe essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.
James Madison‚Tis better to bear the ills we have than fly to others that we know not of.
William ShakespeareI do not think I could myself be brought to support a man for office whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.
Abraham LincolnIf you were to ask me to choose between democratic values and wealth, power, prosperity and fame, I will very easily and without any doubt choose democratic values.
Narendra ModiThe right honourable gentleman caught the Whigs bathing, and walked away with their clothes. He has left them in the full enjoyment of their liberal positions, and he is himself a strict conservative of their garments.
Benjamin DisraeliI don’t like to see a president who is just out campaigning all year long or for the last four years. I’d like to see somebody who’s going in the office. In fact, I’d like to not see them because that way you’d be sure that they’d be working.
Clint EastwoodThe problem with car dealerships is you’ve already decided what you want to buy before you even go there, and you’re really just going there to talk through some annoying negotiation.
Elon MuskTaking 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.
Audrey HepburnYou’ve got to work things out in the cloakroom, and when you’ve got them worked out, you can debate a little before you vote.
Lyndon B. JohnsonIn matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.
Mahatma GandhiNationalism has a way of oppressing others.
Noam ChomskyThe ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.
John F. KennedyI’d done a lot of research in Hollywood and in academia. I love research and so I wanted to kind of ground the book in history, in things that I read that were universal and timeless and then kind of let my own experiences sort of filter through all of this history.
Robert GreeneThe best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.
VoltaireIf you ever injected truth into politics you have no politics.
Will RogersIn 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.
Abraham LincolnThe ultimate authority must always rest with the individual’s own reason and critical analysis.
Dalai LamaThe risk for me would be in not taking one – that’s the only thing that’s really risky for me.
Kanye WestI never accepted Communist dogma or theory.
J. Robert OppenheimerWe 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.
Greta ThunbergA faction willing to take the risks of making war on the ossified status quo in the Middle East can be described as many things, but not as conservative.
Christopher HitchensThe fundamental question I believe is, ‚Is political Islam in our best interest?‘ If not, what is our policy to authoritatively support the countervailing forces?
Jim MattisThere are really two core principles at play here. There’s giving people a voice so that people can express their opinions. Then, there’s keeping the community safe, which I think is really important. We’re not gonna let people plan violence or attack each other or do bad things.
Mark ZuckerbergEverything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
Will RogersYou cannot mix sports with politics.
Jackie ChanI don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.
Henry KissingerA politician is an arse upon which everyone has sat except a man.
E. E. CummingsLiberals are not always so liberal with people who disapprove – disapprove of their point of view.
Clint EastwoodFor the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.

Alexander Graham BellBy 1960, the South Africans knew that they were becoming a pariah state.
Noam ChomskyNixon was no more a saint than he was a great president.
Hunter S. ThompsonPolitics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it.
Thomas JeffersonSometimes if you want to get rid of the gun, you have to pick the gun up.
Huey NewtonYou and I are stuck with the necessity of taking the worst of two evils or none at all. So-I’m taking the immature Democrat as the best of the two. Nixon is impossible.
Harry S. TrumanIf people wonder, yes, Hillary Clinton is my friend. She has been a friend to me and Barack and Malia and Sasha, and Bill and Chelsea have been embracing and supportive from the very day my husband took the oath of office.
Michelle ObamaYou must pursue this investigation of Watergate even if it leads to the president. I’m innocent. You’ve got to believe I’m innocent. If you don’t, take my job.
Richard M. Nixon
