The average educated man ordtak

The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practice politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.

John Jay Chapman (1862-1933)

The idea is to recognize a business owner has a legitimate need [to ban firearms] rather than a political whim. What we're dealing with in some cases now is politics, and when it comes to a constitutional right, law-abiding citizens should not fall prey to politics.

Marion Hammer

The belief that politics can be scientific must inevitably produce tyrannies. Politics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation. Empirical politics must be kept in bounds by democratic institutions, which leave it up to the subjects of the experiment to say whether it shall be tried, and to stop it if they dislike it, because, in politics, there is a distinction, unknown to science, between Truth and Justice.

W. H. Auden (1907-1973)

Here we are the way politics ought to be in America; the politics of happiness, the politics of purpose and the politics of joy.

Hubert H. Humphrey (1911-1978)

Jokes about politics seem to be fair game, as well. Their average age was 25 and that may have a bearing on their attitudes toward politics. They have grown up in a time where politics are frequently the butt of comedian's jokes.

Christopher LeGrow

I don't think music artists are capitalizing on politics or the election. But, yeah, you might say this kind of (redneck) music is more acceptable in the mainstream now because of the political climate, but it's tough to say for sure.

Mike Kennedy

Neither in the past was I associated with politics, nor today I have any association with politics and I will never join politics. It is out of question for me to jump into politics.

Baba Ramdev

I often thought that if there had been a good rap group around in those days, I might have chosen a career in music instead of politics.

Richard M. Nixon (1913-1994)

Let me tell you, sisters, seeing dried egg on a plate in the morning is a lot dirtier than anything I've had to deal with in politics.

Ann Richards (1933-1933)

I thought it would be a good idea to go into Politics, maybe I am a little old... but you know... I'd love to be Chancellor of the Exchequer - That way I'll be united with my money!

Ken Dodd (1927-)

I don't know that anyone has identified what politics the attorney general has. I never thought about it, and I don't think politics had anything to do with her, ... She came in with great credentials.

Ruth Griffin

[The idea of the Y's extinction] was so delicious from the perspective of gender politics, ... But many of my colleagues became confused with this blending of gender politics with scientific predictions.

David Page

You know the cliche that politics is Hollywood for ugly people, ... Political conventions are sort of showmanship for people whose idea of great entertainment is the Gridiron. If you think the Gridiron is equal to Radio City Music Hall in its heyday, then you'll probably find the conventions somewhat entertaining.

Frank Rich

I came here a year ago with a belief that we could change this country, with the belief that the politics of what was possible, the politics of hope, could overcome the politics of cynicism. The people of Iowa tonight confirmed that they believe in a positive, uplifting vision to change America.

John Edwards (1953-)

Do we want an Attorney General who will play politics with the law, play politics with the court and just play politics with international conventions designed to protect our troops? It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying. I do not want to play that kind of politics. I am going to vote against Alberto Gonzales.
