"Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him."	General Charles De Gaulle

"One ought to recognize that the present political chaos is connected with the decay of language, and that one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end. If you simplify your English, you are freed from the worst follies of orthodoxy. You cannot speak any of the necessary dialects, and when you make a stupid remark, its stupidity will be obvious, even to yourself. Political language - and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists - is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. One cannot change this all in a moment, but one can at least change one's own habits, and from time to time, one can even, if one jeers loudly enough, send some worn-out and useless phrase - some jackboot, Achilles' heel, hotbed, melting pot, acid test, veritable inferno or other lump of verbal refuse - into the dustbin where it belongs."	George Orwell

"What has the women's movement learned from [Geraldine Ferraro's] candidacy for vice president? Never get married."	Gloria Steinem
"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies."	Groucho Marx
"One has to be a lowbrow, a bit of a murderer, to be a politician, ready and willing to see people sacrificed, slaughtered, for the sake of an idea, whether a good one or a bad one."	Henry Miller
"How different the new order would be if we could consult the veteran instead of the politician."	Henry Miller
"University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small."	Henry Alfred Kissinger
"Practical politics consists in ignoring facts."	Henry Brooks Adams
"Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds."	Henry Brooks Adams
"The problem with political jokes is they get elected."	Henry Cate, VII
"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."	Henry Louis Mencken
"A politician is an animal which can sit on a fence and yet keep both ears to the ground."	Henry Louis Mencken
"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
"Where there are two PhDs in a developing country, one is head of state and the other is in exile."	Herbert Samuel
