The Tories in
England had long imagined that they were enthusiastic about
the monarchy, the church and beauties of the old English
Constitution, until the day of danger wrung from them the
confession that they are enthusiastic only about rent.
-- Karl Marx
1818-1883, German Political
Theorist, Social Philosopher
The human
being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not
merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can
individuate itself only in the midst of society.
-- Karl Marx
1818-1883, German Political
Theorist, Social Philosopher
In the domain
of Political Economy, free scientific inquiry meets not
merely the same enemies as in all other domains. The
peculiar nature of the material it deals with, summons as
foes into the field of battle the most violent, mean and
malignant passions of the human breast, the Furies of
private interest.
-- Karl Marx
1818-1883, German Political
Theorist, Social Philosopher
A man who is a
politician at forty is a statesman at three score and ten.
It is at this age, when he would be too old to be a clerk or
a gardener or a police-court magistrate, that he is ripe to
govern a country.
-- W. Somerset Maugham
1874-1965, British Novelist,
Playwright

It is unfair
to expect a politician to live in private up to the
statements he makes in public.
-- W. Somerset Maugham
1874-1965, British Novelist,
Playwright
The two-party
system has given this country the war of Lyndon Johnson, the
Watergate of Nixon, and the incompetence of Carter. Saying
we should keep the two-party system simply because it is
working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success
because a few people survived on life-rafts.
-- Eugene J. Mccarthy
1916-, American Politician
It is
dangerous for a national candidate to say things that people
might remember.
-- Eugene J. Mccarthy
1916-, American Politician
One thing
about a pig, he thinks he's warm if his nose is warm. I saw
a bunch of pigs one time that had frozen together in a
rosette, each one's nose tucked under the rump of the one in
front. We have a lot of pigs in politics.
-- Eugene J. Mccarthy
1916-, American Politician
