We must remember that politics is more than a power game. The core of politics in my view is to serve our citizens to serve our fellow human beings.

Since the governments are in the pockets of businesses who's going to control this most powerful institution? Business is more powerful than politics and it's more powerful than religion. So it's going to have to be the vigilante consumer.

Robert Kennedy was such an inspiring figure. His interest in politics seemed to come not from a desire for power but from a need to help our society live up to its ideals.

The tax issue is the most powerful issue in American politics going back to the Tea Party. People say 'Oh Grover Norquist has power.' No. Grover Norquist and Americans for Tax Reform focus on the tax issue. The tax issue is a powerful issue.

In almost every country there are elements of opinion which would welcome such a conclusion because they wish to return to the politics of the balance of power unrestricted and unregulated armaments international anarchy and preparation for war.

Politics and power is a realm of relative influence.

I'm not a political person. When I start to get into it it just upsets me. I feel so powerless when it comes to politics. So I've just decided to be non-political and very very pro-soldier.

Politics is not about power.

The message that I gave on the - on the steps today was that you need to stand for those things that are right and empower the individual. Believe in the power of one person. Don't believe that you can't do it. Everybody wants - everybody wants a shot. That we can all agree on. Beyond that it becomes politics. I'm not talking politics.

No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.
