I stay out of politics because if I begin thinking too much about politics, I'll probably... drop writing children's books and become a political cartoonist again. Dr. Seuss Politics
No great advance has been made in science, politics, or religion without controversy. Lyman Beecher Politics
I was very aware of office politics because I was so baffled by them. So much so goes unsaid. No one says 'you're a cheeky so-and-so,' no one says 'you're so moody,' nobody ever confronts anyone else about anything. But I'm very crass, and I'm very confrontational, and I have a temper. I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in. Denise Mina Politics

It's our job above all in politics to tackle the big issues and to explain them. Malcolm Turnbull Politics
Fortunately, we Argentines have decided to change. We believe politics needs to be led by public servants with a vocation to give and construct. Mauricio Macri Politics
Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it. Thomas Jefferson Politics
I was in elective politics for 24 years. I've made four national races, two for President, two for Vice President. I have found there are other ways to serve, and I'm enjoying them. Al Gore Politics
I didn't come into politics to have to deal with the issue of clandestine entry, illegal working, or an asylum system that allows a free run for right-wing bigots. David Blunkett Politics
There are no generalizations in American politics that vested selfishness cannot cut through. John Gunther Politics
Anyone who thinks that the vice-president can take a position independent of the president of his administration simply has no knowledge of politics or government. You are his choice in a political marriage, and he expects your absolute loyalty. Hubert H. Humphrey Politics
