- The new freedom of expression brought by the Internet goes far beyond politics. People relate to each other in new ways, posing questions about how we should respond to people when all that we know about them is what we have learned through a medium that permits all kinds of anonymity and deception.
- Peter Singer on Politics
- The next thing I am doing is moving back home to Minnesota and getting involved in politics. I'm looking at a run for Senate in 2008, but in the meantime I am focused on knitting together the progressive network in the upper Midwest.

- The only politics in this country that's relevant to black people today is the politics of revolution... none other.
- H. Rap Brown on Politics
- The only reason to be in politics is public service. There's no other reason. Frankly, if that's the best job you can get in terms of money, that's too bad, you know. Because frankly, it's not well paid, everyone knows that. So for most people it's a big sacrifice.
- Malcolm Turnbull on Politics
- The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company. It's always been the same, but it's far tougher now, because record companies are run by financial people before, they were run by creative people.
- Enrique Iglesias on Politics
- The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
- John Stuart Mill on Politics
- The politicians were talking themselves red, white and blue in the face.
- Clare Boothe Luce on Politics
- The politics of judges is getting to be red hot.
- Lindsey Graham on Politics
- The politics of partisanship and the resulting inaction and excuses have paralyzed decision-making, primarily at the federal level, and the big issues of the day are not being addressed, leaving our future in jeopardy.
- Michael Bloomberg on Politics
- The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation.
- Benjamin Disraeli on Politics
- The precise point at which a tax deduction becomes a 'loophole' or a tax incentive becomes a 'subsidy for special interests' is one of the great mysteries of politics.
- John Sununu on Politics
- The problem of the Middle East is poverty more than politics.
- Shimon Peres on Politics
- The proliferation of outlets that digital technology has enabled has itself contributed to the changing nature of what we regard as 'news' and the way in which many citizens perceive politics.
- Malcolm Turnbull on Politics
- The proper reply to right wing religiosity is not to insist that politics and religion don't mix. This is the stock response of the left.
- Christopher Lasch on Politics

- Fidel Castro on Politics
- The revolution is a dictatorship of the exploited against the exploiters.
- Fidel Castro on Politics
- The sad duty of politics is to establish justice in a sinful world.
- Reinhold Niebuhr on Politics
- The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future.
- Lord Acton on Politics
- The secret of getting things done is to act!
- Dante Alighieri on Politics
- The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.
- Otto Von Bismarck on Politics
- The sheep-people don't think for themselves anymore. You can say anything and it's the gospel truth and they don't have to go research it or anything, and they believe everything the news tells them. People don't go and do their own investigations if it's relationships or politics or anything.
- The sight of allegedly sophisticated politicians parroting complete tripe trivialises and demeans government and it has to be stopped. It's played a significant part in public disillusionment with politics and has led to the absurd situation where more people vote for 'Strictly Come Dancing' than voted in the general election.
- John Major on Politics
- The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessful one a criminal.
- Erich Fromm on Politics
- The tax issue is the most powerful issue in American politics going back to the Tea Party. People say, 'Oh, Grover Norquist has power.' No. Grover Norquist and Americans for Tax Reform focus on the tax issue. The tax issue is a powerful issue.
- Grover Norquist on Politics
- The term 'the American Left' is as near to being meaningless or nonsensical as any term could really be in politics. It isn't really a force in politics anymore. And it would do well to ask itself why that is.
- Christopher Hitchens on Politics
- The thing about American politics, as I've learned, is there is no choice.
- Rob Walton on Politics
- The thing I enjoyed most were visits from children. They did not want public office.
- Herbert Hoover on Politics
- 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.
- Hunter S. Thompson on Politics
- The TUC's new slogan 'a future that works' sets a profound challenge. Austerity and rapid deficit reduction is failing in its own terms, but even at its best it is short-sighted, muddle-through politics with no vision of a new economic model.
- Frances O'Grady on Politics
- The United States brags about its political system, but the President says one thing during the election, something else when he takes office, something else at midterm and something else when he leaves.
- Deng Xiaoping on Politics
- The Vice-Presidency is sort of like the last cookie on the plate. Everybody insists he won't take it, but somebody always does.
- Bill Vaughan on Politics
- The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

- The world we build tomorrow is born in the stories we tell our children today. Politics moves the pieces. Education changes the game.
- Jonathan Sacks on Politics
- The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities. Peace, no less than war, requires idealism and self-sacrifice and a righteous and dynamic faith.
- John Foster Dulles on Politics
- Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don't know what they are conserving.
- Robertson Davies on Politics
- There ain't no answer. There ain't gonna be any answer. There never has been an answer. That's the answer.
- Gertrude Stein on Politics
- There are a lot of grotesqueries in politics, not the least of which is the fund-raising side.
- There are few things in politics more annoying than the Right's utter conviction that it owns the patent on the word 'freedom' that when its leaders stand up for the rights of banks to be unregulated or capital gains to be untaxed, that it is actually and obviously standing up for human liberty, the noblest cause of them all.
- Thomas Frank on Politics
- There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle.
- Alexis De Tocqueville on Politics
- There are no morals in politics there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.
- Vladimir Lenin on Politics
- There are no true friends in politics. We are all sharks circling, and waiting, for traces of blood to appear in the water.
- Alan Clark on Politics
- There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it.
