“another tradition to politics, a tradition (of politics) that stretched from the days of the country’s founding to the glory of the civil rights movement, a tradition based on the simple idea that we have a stake in one another, and that what binds us together is greater than what drives us apart, and that if enough people believe in the truth of that proposition and act on it, then we might not solve every problem, but we can get something meaningful done.”
Quote by -Barack Obama
“The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians.”
Quote by -Benjamin Disraeli

Quote by -Abraham Lincoln
“I would say that the quality of each man’s life is the full measure of that man’s commitment of excellence and victory – whether it be football, whether it be business, whether it be politics or government or what have you.”
Quote by -Vince Lombardi
I am aware that one should always make room for renewal in politics. A democracy is the healthier for the turnover of the depth of talent there is in its community.
Quote by -Bob Brown
I'm an actor I'm not a politician. I always kick myself when I talk too much about family, or personal things.
Quote by -Christian Bale
“There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors… I mean it.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions; he had money as well.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“It is always important in matters of high politics to know what you do not know. Those who think that they know, but are mistaken, and act upon their mistakes, are the most dangerous people to have in charge.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand ‘I have a problem, it is the Government’s job to cope with it!’ or ‘I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!’ ‘I am homeless, the Government must house me!’ and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first… There is no such thing as society. There is living tapestry of men and women and people and the beauty of that tapestry and the quality of our lives will depend upon how much each of us is prepared to take responsibility for ourselves and each of us prepared to turn round and help by our own efforts those who are unfortunate.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“I just owe almost everything to my father and it’s passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“Whether it is in the United States or in mainland Europe, written constitutions have one great weakness. That is that they contain the potential to have judges take decisions which should properly be made by democratically elected politicians.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“To be free is better than to be unfree – always. Any politician who suggests the opposite should be treated as suspect.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world, and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn.”
Quote by -George Washington Carver
“In our progress toward political happiness my station is new; and if I may use the expression, I walk on untrodden ground. There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent.”
Quote by -George Washington Carver
“Taking 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.”
Quote by -Audrey Hepburn
“Do you ever get the feeling that the only reason we have elections is to find out if the polls were right?”
Quote by -Robert Orben
I don't wear my political feelings on my sleeve. However, if I'm asked, I will answer honestly.
Quote by -Eartha Kitt
With a library you are free, not confined by temporary political climates. It is the most democratic of institutions because no one - but no one at all - can tell you what to read and when and how.
Quote by -Doris Lessing
Contrary to what the politicians and religious leaders would like us to believe, the world won't be made safer by creating barriers between people.
Quote by -Michael Palin
"I think we will need more troops then we currently have to secure the elections process in Iraq -- that will probably take place in January -- but it is our belief that those troops will be Iraqi troops and there may be additional international troops that arrive to help out, as well as part of the U.N. mission. So I don't see need for more American troops, but we can't discount it."
Quote by -John Abizaid
"A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user."
Quote by -Theodore Roosevelt
"An election cannot give a country a firm sense of direction if it has two or more national parties which merely have different names but are as alike in their principles and aims as two peas in the same pod"
Quote by -Franklin D. Roosevelt
"An election cannot give a country a firm sense of direction if it has two or more national parties which merely have different names, but are as alike in their principals and aims as two peas in the same pod."
Quote by -Franklin D. Roosevelt
"As a woman leader, I thought I brought a different kind of leadership. I was interested in women's issues, in bringing down the population growth rate... as a woman, I entered politics with an additional dimension - that of a mother."
Quote by -Benazir Bhutto
"Pakistan's future viability, stability and security lie in empowering its people and building political institutions. My goal is to prove that the fundamental battle for the hearts and minds of a generation can be accomplished only under democracy."
Quote by -Benazir Bhutto
"I was a very shy girl who led an insulated life; it was only when I came to Oxford, and to Harvard before that, that suddenly I saw the power of people. I didn't know such a power existed, I saw people criticising their own president; you couldn't do that in Pakistan - you'd be thrown in prison."
Quote by -Benazir Bhutto
"My father was the Prime Minister of Pakistan. My grandfather had been in politics, too; however, my own inclination was for a job other than politics. I wanted to be a diplomat, perhaps do some journalism - certainly not politics."
Quote by -Benazir Bhutto
"Military dictatorship is born from the power of the gun, and so it undermines the concept of the rule of law and gives birth to a culture of might, a culture of weapons, violence and intolerance."
Quote by -Benazir Bhutto
"Extremism can flourish only in an environment where basic governmental social responsibility for the welfare of the people is neglected. Political dictatorship and social hopelessness create the desperation that fuels religious extremism."
Quote by -Benazir Bhutto
"A people inspired by democracy, human rights and economic opportunity will turn their back decisively against extremism."
Quote by -Benazir Bhutto
