FIVE QUOTES ON POLITICS
“Politics” is briefly defined as the
work and ideas tha are connected with governing a country, a town, etc.
According to another definition: it
refers to the activities, processes, and actions involved in gaining, using,
and managing power with a country or society to make collective decisions.
Given below are ten famous quotes which
further enlighten us about the multi-sided nature of politics.
1.
The
political parties that I would call great, are those which cling more to
principles than to consequences; to general, and not to special cases; to
ideas, and not to men. Such parties are
usually distinguished by nobler character, more generous passions, more genuine
convictions, and a more bold and open conduct than others.------De Tocqueville ( 1805-1859), a French
diplomat, political philosopher and historian.
2.
A
politician is like quick-silver: if you try to put your finger on him, you find
nothing under it. -----Austin O’Malley (1858-1932)
, Professor of English literature at University of Notre Dame and author of a book
of aphorisms.
3.
Nothing
is more deceitful than the statements that what we need in politics is the
business man. Politics are a business --- at least they are a field in which experience
tells for usefulness and effectiveness --- and a man who has devoted his entire
life to the successful establishment of a business is generally not the man who
will be useful to the public in the administration of public business. -----William Howard Taft (1857-1930), 27th
President of the United States from 1909 to 1915 and the tenth chief justice of the United States from 1921 to 1930.
4.
Noting
is politically right which is morally wrong. ----Daniel O’Connell (1775-1847), a political leader of Ireland’s Roman Catholic
majority in the first half of the 19 century
5. By discharging our duty thoroughly
and well, and personal ambition to an exalted love of country, we will not only
receive the endorsement of the people, but what is far better, we will deserve
their endorsement,----Champ Clark
(1850-1921), Attorney and former Speaker
of the United States House of Representatives.
