Honesty in politics is much like oxygen.
The higher up you go,
the scarcer it becomes.
A promising young man
should go into politics so that he can
go on promising for the rest of his life.
In politics,
your enemies can't hurt you,
but your friends will kill you.
I don't make jokes.
I just watch the
government
and
report the facts.
Bad officials
are elected
by
good citizens
who do not vote.
In politics,
your enemies can't hurt you,
but your friends will kill you.
In politics,
your enemies can't hurt you,
but your friends will kill you.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble,
finding it whether it exists or not,
diagnosing it incorrectly,
and applying the wrong remedy.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has
been concerned with
right or left
instead of
right or wrong.
We have plenty of Confidence in this country,
but we are a little short of good men
to place our Confidence in. -Will
Rogers
I offer my opponents a bargain:
if they will stop telling lies about us,
I will stop telling the truth about them.
The flood of money
that gushes into politics
today is a pollution of democracy.
Politics is the gentle art
of getting votes from the poor
and campaign funds from the rich,
by promising to protect each from the other.
Good leaders are like baseball umpires;
they go practically unnoticed
when doing their jobs right.
