No. I probably do better not being in politics. They have too much control over you when you are in politics.
Evander Holyfield
Image
The instinct of ownership is fundamental in man's nature.
William James
Image
As there is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood by those who hear it, so reasonable arguments, challenges to magnanimity, and appeals to sympathy or justice, are folly when we are dealing with human crocodiles and boa-constrictors.
William James
Image
For morality life is a war, and the service of the highest is a sort of cosmic patriotism which also calls for volunteers.
William James
Image
I am not anti-American. But I am strongly pro-Canadian.
John Diefenbaker
Image
In politics continental Europe was infantile - horrifying. What America lacked, for all its political stability, was the capacity to enjoy intellectual pleasures as though they were sensual pleasures. This is what Europe offered, or was said to offer.

Albert Einstein

For all the talk about the bitterness and the partisanship in American politics, is it really that bitter and partisan? Think of American history. Think of Joseph McCarthy. Think of the New Left. Think of [George] McGovern. Think of [Ronald] Reagan. Think of George Wallace. We've had an awful lot of real extremism on both wings.
William Kristol

I think it's fine that there are five million people who are watching [politics on TV], and obviously I'm happy they are since they're on the air, and there are a couple hundred thousand people reading The Weekly Standard online, and that's great too, but most Americans aren't engaged that intensely, and are much less partisan.
William Kristol
Image
I played by the rules of politics as I found them.
Richard M. Nixon

The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.

Politics is more difficult than physics.
Albert Einstein
Image
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.

[D]id you really expect fairness on the environmental issue? For a swathe of reporters, this is not a matter of empirical reporting it's a matter of faith. Bush cannot be pro-environment because he's Bush.
Andrew Sullivan
Image
There must be no compromise with slavery - none whatever. Nothing is gained, everything is lost, by subordinating principle to expedience.
William Lloyd Garrison
Image
Concern for man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors, concern for the great unsolved problems of the organization of labor and the distribution of goods-in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
Albert Einstein
Image
When it comes to politics, one has to do as one at sea with a sailing ship, reach one's course having regard to prevailing winds.
William Lyon Mackenzie King
Image
All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field.

Image
The environment has fallen to the wayside in politics.
Craig Venter
Image
Yes, we now have to divide up our time like that, between politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.
Albert Einstein
Image
So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die that is to say, civilization will die.
