Politics

Let us not be deceived we are today in the midst of a cold war.

Bernard Baruch

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!

Ronald Reagan

If you ever injected truth into politics you have no politics.

Will Rogers

Man is not free unless government is limited.

Ronald Reagan

Blood alone moves the wheels of history.

Martin Luther

The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.

Will Rogers

We have the best government that money can buy.

Mark Twain

Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.

Will Rogers

In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.

Winston Churchill

The reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead.

Theodore Roosevelt

Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.

Ronald Reagan

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

Ronald Reagan

Vote for the man who promises least; he'll be the least disappointing.

Bernard Baruch

The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement, many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history.

Dalai Lama

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We, of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.

Abraham Lincoln

Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.

Benjamin Franklin

I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.

Abraham Lincoln

The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.

Edmund Burke

Turn on to politics, or politics will turn on you.

Ralph Nader
