"An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought."	Simon Cameron
"Indeed, the Founders mentioned the pagan authors in so many heartfelt speeches, pamphlets and letters that today's sweeping references to America's 'Christian' roots and 'Judeo-Christian heritage' ought to be amended. Maybe these terms should be reserved to explain the traditional religions and morality of individuals, families, congregations, small communitities. Politically, our notions of virtue and vice have had another genesis."	Colin Campbell

"Personally, I'm in favor of democracy, which means that the central institutions of society have to be under popular control. Now, under capitalism, we can't have democracy by definition. Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are in principle under autocratic control. Thus, a corporation or an industry is, if we were to think of it in political terms, fascist; that is, it has tight control at the top and strict obedience has to be establishedat every level--there's little bargaining, a little give and take,but the line of authority is perfectly straightforward. Just as I'm opposed to political fascism, I'm opposed to economic fascism. I think that until the major institutions of society are under the popular control of participants and communities, it's pointless to talk about democracy."	Noam Chomsky
"I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic."	Sir Winston Leonard Spenser Churchill
"Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories."	Arthur C(harles) Clarke
"It is probably safe to say that over a long period of time, political morality has been as high as business morality."	Henry Steele Commager
"As in political so in literary action a man wins friends for himself mostly by the passion of his prejudices and the consistent narrowness of his outlook."	Joseph Conrad
"Transcend political correctness and strive for human righteousness."	Anthony J. D'Angelo

"In politics it is necessary either to betray one's country of the electorate. I prefer to betray the electorate."	General Charles De Gaulle
"Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him."	General Charles De Gaulle
"In order to become the master the politician poses as the servant."	General Charles De Gaulle
"The Liberals are the flying saucers of politics. No one can make head nor tail of them and they never are seen twice in the same place."	John George Diefenbaker
"Our country was founded on a distrust of government. Our founding fathers gave power to the people to keep an eye on government. So when politicians say, Trust me, they're actually being very un-American."	David Duchovny
