Politics are almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous ... [I]n war, you can only be killed once. But in politics many times.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
Politics is a game of friends.
Joseph Jacques Jean Chrtien
The art of politics is learning to walk with your back to the wall, your elbows high, and a smile on your face. It's a survival game played under the glare of lights.
Joseph Jacques Jean Chrtien
To be frank, politics is about wanting power, getting it, exercising it, and keeping it.
Joseph Jacques Jean Chrtien
There's no such thing as a genius in politics, or at least I have never met one. There are only human beings, some better than others, who rise or fall on the challenges they meet.
Joseph Jacques Jean Chrtien
The fact that in Germany the politics were of the Right and in the United States of the Left should not mislead us. In both places the universities gave way under the pressure of mass movements, and did so in large measure because they thought those movements possessed a moral truth superior to any the university could provide. Commitment was understood to be profounder than science, passion than reason, history than nature, the young than the old.
Allan David Bloom
Fear is the main factor in Arab politics... There is no Arab who is not harmed by Jews' entry into Palestine.
Moshe Sharett
Politics are usually the executive expression of human immaturity.
Vera Mary Brittain
A passion for politics stems usually from an insatiable need, either for power, or for friendship and adulation, or a combination of both.
Fawn McKay Brodie
Politics is history in the present tense.
John P. Avlon
The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.
Marshall Mcluhan
In the end, science offers us the only way out of politics. And if we allow science to become politicized, then we are lost. We will enter the Internet version of the dark ages, an era of shifting fears and wild prejudices, transmitted to people who don't know any better.
John Michael Crichton
Where government is impossible, politics is impossible.
Sir Bernard Rowland Crick
Politics has rough manners, but it is a very useful thing.
Sir Bernard Rowland Crick
Howarth began to see that, however much it was against ones will and convictions, sides had to be taken, the dreary corrupt world of politics had to be entered by the good and dispassionate, to protect and avenge the weak. But one always entered too late.
Anthony Burgess
