The ruling idea of the politician - stated rather bluntly - is that those who are opposed to him exist for the purpose of being made to serve his ends, if he can get power enough in his hands to force these ends upon them.
Auberon Herbert
The statesman shears the sheep; the politician skins them.
Austin O'Malley
The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.
Rodney Dangerfield
The wealth of the country, its capital, its credit, must be saved from the predatory poor as well as the predatory rich, but above all from the predatory politician.
James J. Hill
There are numerous bugbears in the profession of a politician. First, ordinary life suffers. Second, there are many temptations to ruin you and those around you. And I suppose third, and this is rarely discussed, people at the top generally have no friends.
Boris Yeltsin
There exists no politician in India daring enough to attempt to explain to the masses that cows can be eaten.
Indira Gandhi
To an intellectual who is adrift in politics, a theory is an aim; to a true politician his theory is a boundary.

Peter Schuyler
Under every stone lurks a politician.
Aristophanes

Well, I couldn't do the day-to-day stuff of being a politician or anything, but I just think everybody should have an opinion and everybody should vote, and that's what we're built on.
Toby Keith
What is inherently wrong with the word 'politician' if the fellow has devoted his life to holding public office and trying to do something for his people?
Richard J. Daley
What should I have known or written had I been a quiet, mercantile politician or a lord in waiting? A man must travel, and turmoil, or there is no existence.
George Byron
When I think of the person that I thought was Bill Clinton, I think he had genuine remorse. When I think of the person that I now see is 100 percent politician, I think he's sorry he got caught.
Monica Lewinsky
When I was growing up in the United States and Sweden, I never thought about becoming a politician.
Georgios A. Papandreou
When I'm not a politician, I'll be dead.
Barry Goldwater
Where is the politician who has not promised to fight to the death for lower taxes- and who has not proceeded to vote for the very spending projects that make tax cuts impossible?
Barry Goldwater
While Lincoln thus became a lawyer, he did not cease to remain a politician.
John George Nicolay
You know that a given in life in human nature, is that at a sporting event, a baseball game, a football game, you never introduce a politician, is because he'll be booed. I don't care if he's the most beloved person in the world, its part of the game.
Mark Russell
