War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.
Carl von ClausewitzKathleen 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 PetersonA 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 HitchensI told y’all I didn’t vote, right? But if I would’ve voted, I would’ve voted for Trump.

Harry S. TrumanI belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat.
Will RogersThere was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if I wanted to sit down. When I saw the stool sitting there, it gave me the idea. I’ll just put the stool out there and I’ll talk to Mr. Obama and ask him why he didn’t keep all of the promises he made to everybody.
Clint EastwoodI don’t envy or much respect people who are completely politicised.
Christopher HitchensA lot of people are realizing they had the wool pulled over their eyes by Obama.
Clint EastwoodBallots are the rightful and peaceful successors to bullets.

David ByrneI don’t think President Trump is a racist.
John KennedyPeople are finding it harder and harder to relate to foreign policy.
Madeleine AlbrightTyrants seldom want pretexts.
Edmund BurkeI’m a singer, not a politician, and I think you don’t want the two to get confused. It’s not OK to be on CNN talking about people starving and then tell the interviewer that your new album is coming out in six months.
BonoGovernment exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
Ronald ReaganBarack 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.

Fidel CastroRonald Reagan used to alarm his Soviet counterparts by saying that surely they’d both unite against an invasion from Mars.
Christopher HitchensI have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory… And why not? Victory is good for you, and don’t let anybody tell you different.
Hunter S. ThompsonWar is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means.
Carl von ClausewitzNothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men pass for wise.
Francis BaconIf 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 ObamaPolitics, according to the Social Doctrine of the Church, is one of the highest forms of charity, because it serves the common good. I cannot wash my hands, eh? We all have to give something!
Pope FrancisIsraelis would mostly breathe a sigh of relief if Palestinians were to disappear.
Noam ChomskyIf somebody’s dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they’re going to have to take what they get.
Clint EastwoodPutin sought to destabilize Ukraine’s economy.
Joe BidenIn my country we go to prison first and then become President.
Nelson MandelaHe knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.
George Bernard ShawOhio 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.

Abraham LincolnColonies do not cease to be colonies because they are independent.
Benjamin DisraeliI am not a crook.
Richard M. NixonThe spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force.
Thomas JeffersonI don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will RogersThere’s no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

Thomas SowellEverybody has a little bit of Watergate in him.
Billy GrahamDo you realize the responsibility I carry? I’m the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.
John F. KennedyI think that people are tired. They’re tired of the same old kind of politics. People want a new tone to politics.
Michelle ObamaKings will be tyrants from policy, when subjects are rebels from principle.
Edmund BurkeThe 1928 Republican Convention opened with a prayer. If the Lord can see His way clear to bless the Republican Party the way it’s been carrying on, then the rest of us ought to get it without even asking.
Will RogersI’ve never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a ‚fat cat‘ and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a ‚public-spirited philanthropist‘.
Ronald ReaganFor all who love freedom and peace, the world without Saddam Hussein’s regime is a better and safer place.
George W. BushUnlike my opponent, I will not let oil companies write this country’s energy plan, or endanger our coastlines, or collect another $4 billion in corporate welfare from our taxpayers.
Barack ObamaLincoln said you cannot be President without spending some item on your knees. I have repeated that and a bunch of Atheists got all over me. Wait a minute. Does that mean that you cannot be President if you are an Atheist? I say yea that does mean that.
George H. W. BushHalf a truth is better than no politics.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI don’t really regard myself as a political figure.
Jordan PetersonThere’s a tremendous gap between public opinion and public policy.
Noam ChomskyI 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 LamaPolitics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.
Winston Churchill‚Obama and Biden want to raise taxes by a trillion dollars.‘ Guess what? Yes, we do in one regard: We want to let that trillion dollar tax cut expire so the middle class doesn’t have to bear the burden of all that money going to the super-wealthy. That’s not a tax raise. That’s called fairness where I come from.
Joe BidenAny lady who is first lady likes being first lady. I don’t care what they say, they like it.
Richard M. NixonEverything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
Will RogersI don’t usually admire Sarah Palin, but when she was making fun of this ‚hopey changey stuff,‘ she was right: there was nothing there.
Noam ChomskyThe very design of neoliberal principles is a direct attack on democracy.
Noam ChomskyWhen I came to Johannesburg from the countryside, I knew nobody, but many strangers were very kind to me. I then was dragged into politics, and then, subsequently, I became a lawyer.
Nelson Mandela
