"Many politicians lay it down as a self-evident proposition, that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story, who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim."	Lord Macaulay
"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies."	Julius Henry Marx
"Saying we should keep the two-party [political] system simply because it is working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success because a few people survived on life rafts."	Eugene J. McCarthy
"Politics will eventually be replaced by imagery. The politician will be only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image, because the image will be much more powerful than he could ever be."	Herbert "Marshall" McLuhan
"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
"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
"Political image is like mixing cement. When it's wet, you can move it around and shape it, but at some point it hardens and there's almost nothing you can do to reshape it."	Walter Frederick Mondale
"A politician is a person who thinks twice before he says nothing."	Joe Moore
"You can always get the truth from a politician after he has turned seventy, or given up all hope of the Presidency."	Joe Moore
"The reason there are so few female politicians is that it is too much trouble to put makeup on two faces."	Maureen Murphy
"The politician is ... trained in the art of inexactitude. His words tend to be blunt or rounded, because if they have a cutting edge they may later return to wound him."	Edward R(oscoe) Murrow
"The politician in my country seeks votes, affection and respect, in that order. ... With few notable exceptions, they are simply men who want to be loved."	Edward R(oscoe) Murrow
"I wish I could give you a lot of advice, based on my experience of winning political debates. But I don't have that experience. My only experience is at losing them."	Richard Milhouse Nixon
"Certainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president, perhaps sooner than you think. A woman can and should be able to do any political job that a man can do."	Richard Milhouse Nixon
"Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures; there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen."	Peggy Noonan
"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies."	Groucho Marx
"Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement. No sound ought to be heard in the church but the healing voice of Christian charity. The cause of civil liberty and civil government gains as little as that of religion by this confusion of duties. Those who quit their proper character to assume what does not belong to them are, for the greater part, ignorant both of the character they leave and of the character they assume."	Edmund Burke
"It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs."	Albert Einstein
