The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, the public debt should be reduced and the arrogance of public officials should be controlled.
Ross Perot
This party will not take its position based on public opinion polls. We will not take a stand based on focus groups. We will not take a stand based on phone-in shows or householder surveys or any other vagaries of pubic opinion.
Stephen Harper
Universality has been severely reduced: it is virtually dead as a concept in most areas of public policy.
Stephen Harper
Our job is only to hold up the mirror - to tell and show the public what has happened.
Walter Cronkite
I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.
Jack Nicholson
The public pays and feels it is entitled to participate in the personal affairs of a performer.
Hedy Lamarr
We call ourselves public servants but I'll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. It is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the common good.
Barbara Jordan
More is required of public officials than slogans and handshakes and press releases. More is required. We must hold ourselves strictly accountable. We must provide the people with a vision of the future.
Barbara Jordan
If we promise as public officials, we must deliver. If we as public officials propose, we must produce.
Barbara Jordan
Public life is regarded as the crown of a career, and to young men it is the worthiest ambition. Politics is still the greatest and the most honorable adventure.
Pat Riley
What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you.
Jean Cocteau
The extreme limit of wisdom, that's what the public calls madness.
Jean Cocteau
Whatever the public blames you for, cultivate it; it is yourself.
Jean Cocteau
Well, I try not to think about the general public since I have no idea what the general public is and I don't think anybody does.
Elliott Smith
Being in public with May and the children was too heavy. I was irreversibly tuned in to everyone around us.
Sammy Davis, Jr.
When I talked to him on the phone yesterday. I called him George rather than Mr. Vice President. But, in public, it's Mr. Vice President, because that is who he is.
Dan Quayle
I just don't believe in the basic concept that someone should make their whole career in public service.
Dan Quayle
Well, I'm telling them two things. One is that, look, this is going to be something when the American people realize - once it's passed - that, A, it does take care of preexisting conditions; B, you're insurance rates aren't going to skyrocket; C, the insurance companies aren't going to be running the show like they were before; D, you're going to be in a position where you can keep your insurance that you have. That once the American public realizes that, you're going to get a reward for this. They're going to be rewarded.
Joe Biden
What we need are not prohibitory marriage laws, but a reformed society, an educated public opinion which will teach individual duty in these matters.
Alfred Russel Wallace
To impose taxes when the public exigencies require them is an obligation of the most sacred character, especially with a free people.
James Monroe
