There is no maxim, in my opinion, which is more liable to be misapplied, and which, therefore, more needs elucidation, than the current one, that the interest of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong.
James Madison
Despotism can only exist in darkness, and there are too many lights now in the political firmament to permit it to remain anywhere, as it has heretofore done, almost everywhere.
James Madison
He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.
George Bernard Shaw
Political necessities sometime turn out to be political mistakes.
George Bernard Shaw
It isn't enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflect this anger back into, 'How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again?'
Colin Powell
Every new baby is a blind desperate vote for survival: people who find themselves unable to register an effective political protest against extermination do so by a biological act.
Lewis Mumford
Battle, n., A method of untying with the teeth a political knot that would not yield to the tongue.
Ambrose Bierce
No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.
Vladimir Lenin
A President needs political understanding to run the government, but he may be elected without it.
Harry S. Truman
It's plain hokum. If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em. It's an old political trick. But this time it won't work.
Harry S. Truman
You are priests, not social or political leaders. Let us not be under the illusion that we are serving the Gospel through an exaggerated interest in the wide field of temporal problems.
Pope John Paul II
The test of every religious, political, or educational system is the man that it forms.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
George Orwell
All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome.
George Orwell
In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.
George Orwell
In our time political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.
George Orwell
Political chaos is connected with the decay of language... one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.
George Orwell
Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.
Benito Mussolini
Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power.
Aldous Huxley
The friend of the present order of things condemns all political speculations in the gross.
Thomas Malthus
