Israel is a pretty crazy state.

Everybody is a political person, whether you say something or you are silent. A political attitude is not whether you go to parliament; it’s how you deal with your life, with your surroundings.

When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport; when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity.

I supported Donald Trump.

John F. Kennedy was the victim of the hate that was a part of our country. It is a disease that occupies the minds of the few but brings danger to the many.

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

War is regarded as nothing but the continuation of state policy with other means.

By curious accident of history and geography, the world’s major energy resources are located pretty much in Shiite regions. They’re a minority in the Middle East, but they happen to be where the oil is, right around the northern part of the Gulf.

I played by the rules of politics as I found them.

Compromise 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.

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

We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe.

Laws are silent in time of war.

The U.S.S.R. had absolutely nothing to do with the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.

I almost laughed about the Machiavellian plans of the presidents of the United States.

Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it… You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.

Much publishing is done through politics, friends, and natural stupidity.

What we won when all of our people united must not be lost in suspicion and distrust and selfishness and politics. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as president.

Political courage is not political suicide.

If the Soviet Union let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one-party state, because everybody would join the other party.

Barack Obama would not be President if he were dark skin. You know what I mean? That’s just the truth. I might not be as successful as I am now if I was dark skin.

Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government.

I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.

All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man.

Let me even say before I even get inaugurated, during the transition we are going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for the next presidency of the United States of America.

Some say we should not engage in activism. Instead we should leave everything to our politicians and just vote for a change instead. But what do we do when there is no political will? What do we do when the politics needed are nowhere in sight?

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.

Ohio claims they are due a president as they haven’t had one since Taft. Look at the United States, they have not had one since Lincoln.

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.

If people lose faith in their government, the result is the same whether or not the loss of confidence is justified.

The Iranians have shot down drones. They tried to destroy the Saudi oil fields. They tried to storm our embassy. So, when my Democratic friends say we need appeasement, well appeasement hasn’t worked. And I think that we’ve learned, with respect to Iran, that weakness invites the wolves.

Egypt is the second-largest recipient over a long period of U.S. military and economic aid. Israel is first.

The United States tyrannizes and pillages the globalized world with its political, economic, technological, and military might.

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.

Trump just looks stupid trying to appeal to blacks and Latinos.

It is a fine game to play – the game of politics – and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging.

When our governments want to sell us a course of action, they do it by making sure it’s the only thing on the agenda, the only thing everyone’s talking about. And they pre-load the ensuing discussion with highly selected images, devious and prejudicial language, dubious linkages, weak or false ‚intelligence‘ and selected ‚leaks.‘

I don’t think consensus-building politics is what I’m meant to be doing.

I have been very happy in the House of Representatives.

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.

Germany 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.

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.

From the U.S. point of view, negotiations are, in effect, a way for Israel to continue its policies of systematically taking over whatever it wants in the West Bank, maintaining the brutal siege on Gaza, separating Gaza from the West Bank and, of course, occupying the Syrian Golan heights, all with full U.S. support.

Baldwin thought Europe was a bore, and Chamberlain thought it was only a greater Birmingham.

Leadership is absolutely vital if there are comparable countries which can affect the security of the world you live in. Between Lincoln and Roosevelt’s time, America was protected by huge oceans and, in practice, by the British navy. Today, it’s different, and the obsession of the Obama administration has been for retrenchment.

The truth of the matter is that Iran is a cancer.

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

A gaffe in Washington is someone telling the truth, and telling the truth has never hurt me.

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

Experience has shown how deeply the seeds of war are planted by economic rivalry and social injustice.

I think my message to the politicians who have within their power the ability to make change is, ‚Do you really, really not care about the future of your great-grandchildren? Because if we let the world continue to be destroyed the way we are now, what’s the world going to be like for your great-grandchildren?‘

I believed what my father taught me about the separation of church and state, so when I was President I never invited Billy Graham to have services in the White House because I didn’t think that was appropriate. He was injured a little bit, until I explained it to him.

The Iranian government is undoubtedly a severe danger to its own population, but not beyond that.

The trouble with Nixon is that he’s a serious politics junkie. He’s totally hooked and like any other junkie, he’s a bummer to have around, especially as President.

In time of war the laws are silent.

Unlike presidential administrations, problems rarely have terminal dates.

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

In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.

There were the questions of what kind of First Lady I would be, what issues would I focus on. Those were the questions that were being pounded on me through the campaign. A lot of times, I wondered what in the world Barack was even getting us into.

War is not an exercise of the will directed at an inanimate matter.

There’s not going to be a World War III, because there is no one to have World War III with.
