If you have a deep-seated need to be loved and admired every day you shouldn't be in politics. You should go work at a pet store.

Politics is about the improvement of people's lives. It's about advancing the cause of peace and justice in our country and the world. Politics is about doing well for the people.

Politics is too partisan and sometimes patriotism is cast aside. Patriotism is honor and love of your country and your brothers and sisters. With politics I get the impression that it's all about what's good for the party and not necessarily what's good for the country.

Artists know that diligence counts as much if not more as inspiration in art as in politics patience counts as much as revolution.

The first requirement of politics is not intellect or stamina but patience. Politics is a very long run game and the tortoise will usually beat the hare.

It is impossible to practice parliamentary politics without having patience decency politeness and courtesy.

Human nature doesn't include all human beings. There are human beings who are indifferent to politics religion virtually anything.

I think politicians get hamstrung by the nature of politics when the private sector can really do great things.

The movies were custard compared to politics.

Politics gets me out of bed in the morning It's what really interests me. I'm a competitor but I also feel like I'm contributing whether it's working on health-care policy in the White House or out here in Chicago.
