"Without glasnost there is not, and there cannot be, democratism, the political creativity of the masses and their participation in management."	Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev
"Practical politics consists in ignoring facts."	Henry Brooks Adams
"Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident -- the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society."	Edward C. Banfield
"Sometimes in politics one must duel with skunks, but no one should be fool enough to allow the skunks to choose the weapons."	Lester R(obert) Bittel
"I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics."	Newt Gingrich

"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.

Politically, our notions of virtue and vice have had another genesis."	Colin Campbell
"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

"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
"The trouble with this country is that there are too many politicians who believe, with a conviction based on experience, that you can fool all of the people all of the time."	Franklin P. Adams
"Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds."	Henry Brooks Adams
"In America you can go on the air and kid the politicians, and the politicians can go on the air and kid the people. Personal relations are the important thing for ever and ever and not this outer life of telegrams and anger."	Edward Morgan Forster
"If you want to cut your own throat, don't come to me for a bandage."	Margaret Thatcher
