Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.
Albert CamusWe need to pass comprehensive immigration reform, period.
Kamala HarrisIf you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics – a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage – surely that proves that you are in the right?
George OrwellIt’s actually very easy for democracy to disappear.
Brian EnoI 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.
Jimmy CarterPolitics is the entertainment branch of industry.
Frank ZappaPolitically, the world is so confused right now – there’s so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.
Alice WalkerWe have the best government that money can buy.
Mark TwainI’m substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They’re sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they’re hitting back and forth.
Neil ArmstrongObviously, I’m no fan of the radical left.
Jordan PetersonMy objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.
Benjamin DisraeliIn the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom; we have to say, Like People like Government.
Thomas CarlyleIf 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 ObamaLet me just be very clear that the Republican Party will select a nominee that will beat Bill Clinton.
Dan QuayleIt 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.
H. L. MenckenThe U.S. couldn’t even get rid of Saddam Hussein. And we all know that the EU is just a passing fad. They’ll be killing each other again in less than a year. I’m sick to death of all these fascist lawsuits.
Bill GatesA Conservative Government is an organized hypocrisy.
Benjamin DisraeliHillary doesn’t play. She has more experience and exposure to the presidency than any candidate in our lifetime – yes, more than Barack, more than Bill. So she is absolutely ready to be Commander-in-Chief on day one. And, yes, she happens to be a woman.
Michelle ObamaNobody is above the law. Imagine if there allegations against Modi and he is the Prime Minister. Should the case not be pursued just because he has become the PM. It should not be so that it should be stopped. I am not above the law.
Narendra ModiIn politics nothing is contemptible.

Billy GrahamSure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too.
Richard M. NixonI think that if I would talk on a political subject, if I talk about it, it would divide the audience on that issue. That’s not my issue.
Billy GrahamI sent out a tweet, ‚Dancing with the Stars‘ should stop the jibber jabber. They shouldn’t make the departure of a dancer so tear jerky because nobody’s going to war.
Mr. TOne of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex.
Margaret ThatcherI just don’t like mutual funds. I think they’re a rip-off.
Robert KiyosakiI got no quarrel with them Vietcong.
Muhammad AliIf you talk bad about country music, it’s like saying bad things about my momma. Them’s fightin‘ words.
Dolly PartonThere is probably a perverse pride in my administration… that we were going to do the right thing, even if short-term it was unpopular. And I think anybody who’s occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can’t be neglecting of marketing and P.R. and public opinion.
Barack ObamaEvery Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the – he said in the first 100 days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules – unchain Wall Street. They’re gonna put y’all back in chains.
Joe BidenA President cannot always be popular.
Harry S. TrumanThe U.S. and its allies will do anything they can to prevent authentic democracy in the Arab world.
Noam ChomskyThe truth of the matter is that Iran is a cancer.
John KennedyLiberalism is totalitarianism with a human face.
Thomas SowellI’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 GoodallIt is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.
Thomas CarlyleEmpire and liberty.
Marcus Tullius CiceroI see the world in black and white, and I don’t like compromising.
Greta ThunbergIf Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
James MadisonWhenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.
Edmund BurkeAll conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI 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!
Dalai LamaNinety percent of the politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation.
Henry KissingerLook, when you’re the president, there’s all kinds of things said about us. I mean, it’s just the nature of the job.
George W. BushWhen ‚Paul’s Boutique‘ came out, I was one of the fans that didn’t get it.
EminemI don’t think generally politician come from democratic country. I think not that thinking. But sometimes little bit short-sighted. They are mainly looking for their next vote.
Dalai LamaThere are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.
HippocratesAnd they that rule in England, in stately conclaves met, alas, alas for England they have no graves as yet.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI know Gov. Christie. We’ve met a couple of times.
Dwayne JohnsonLanguage is a weapon of politicians, but language is a weapon in much of human affairs.
Noam ChomskyPeople are finding it harder and harder to relate to foreign policy.
Madeleine AlbrightAn election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.
George Bernard ShawIt is important that the United States remain a two-party system. I’m a fellow who likes small parties and the Republican Party can’t be too small to suit me.
Lyndon B. JohnsonThe governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments‘ plans.
Benjamin DisraeliNationalism has a way of oppressing others.
Noam ChomskyRichard Nixon was an evil man – evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency.
Hunter S. ThompsonI own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.
Thomas JeffersonI hate all politics. I don’t like either political party. One should not belong to them – one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking.
Ray BradburyWhen they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer ‚Present‘ or ‚Not guilty.‘
Theodore Roosevelt
