Politics is a lot like sex - if you want something, you have to ask for it, if they're not doing it right you've got to speak up and show them and if you still don't get what you want, then there is nothing wrong with doing it yourself.
Jennifer Beals

To me the desire to create and to have control over your own life, irrespective of the politics of the time or social structures, has always been a part of the human spirit. What I did not fully realize was that work could open the doors to my heart.
Anita Roddick

In general people feel more relaxed about participating in politics. They aren't frightened as they used to be.
Aung San Suu Kyi

I have no problem with technological solutions to social problems. The key question for me is, 'Who gets to implement them?' and, 'What kinds of politics of reform do technological solutions smuggle through the back door?'

Creeds like pacifism or anarchism, which seem on the surface to imply a complete renunciation of power, rather encourage this habit of mind. For if you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics ... the more you are in the right (and) everybody else should be bullied into thinking otherwise.
George Orwell

Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done.
Josh Billings

Living gives you a better understanding of life. I would hope that my characters have become deeper and more rounded personalities. Wider travels have given me considerably greater insight into how cultural differences affect not only people, but politics and art.
Alan Dean Foster

To control the production of wealth is to control human life itself. To refuse man the opportunity for the production of wealth is to refuse him the opportunity for life and, in general, the way in which the production of wealth is by law permitted is the only way in which the citizens can legally exist.
Hilaire Belloc

England is unrivalled for two things - sport and politics.
Benjamin Disraeli

Everybody over there, get on up. Everybody out there, get into it. Everybody right there, get involved.

I don't think my comedy is that political. It's more social. But whatever. When you make comedy and you do stand-up, you work alone. Movies have to go under so much scrutiny. A stand-up special is a vision, and a movie is a consensus in a lot of ways.
Chris Rock

What happens with identity politics sometimes is there's a competition among the oppressed: You're more oppressed than me and if not, then unfortunately you may not receive as much attention. What we need to do is make sure we're focusing on what our core American values are, and ensure that everyone feels as though we are in this together.
Sam Rasoul
Image
The sad duty of politics is to establish justice in a sinful world.
Reinhold Niebuhr
Image
The very foundation of private property and free contracting wears away in a nation in which its most vital, most concrete, most meaningful types of private property and free contracting disappear from the moral horizon of the people.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
Image
We have the power to do any damn fool thing we want to do, and we seem to do it about every ten minutes.
J. William Fulbright
Image
I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics.
Kid Rock
Image
I don't know how we continue to do politics in a democracy if we simply can't listen to one another, if we simply close the door and say you are beyond redemption.
George Packer

The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.

Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann represent an existential threat to the Democratic Party the way that twenty years ago Clarence Thomas as a black man represented to liberals and the Democratic Party.
Andrew Breitbart

In the armed forces, the chances of success are quite high. That's due to the clarity of the military structure - everything is sketched out. In politics, there are many more surprises and detours, and it's a lot more unpredictable.
Abdel Fattah el-Sisi

I think Congress has spent enough time on ethics. I think it's time they moved on to something else.
Richard M. Nixon
