A war for a great principle ennobles a nation.
I don't think I've had any great success in predicting politics or social change, nor have I really tried.
Well, I think the great tragedy in American politics is what is legal, not what is illegal.
Politics are about preserving relationships at the end of the day, and it has nothing to do with the greater good for humanity. It's just all about business.
For Americans of the Greatest Generation that fought World War II and of the Silent Generation that came of age in the 1950s, the great moral and ideological cause was the Cold War. It gave purpose and clarity to our politics and foreign policy, and our lives.
Indian democracy's greatest strength is that we have always put the nation above politics.
Millions of Americans are standing up and saying, 'We want our country back!' Republicans, Democrats, Independents, will not go down the path of Greece, we will not go quietly into the night.
I'm a dual citizen in a way. I live in the States and have a green card, so my connection to British politics is almost nonexistent.
I believe that Greenland will achieve independence during the time I am still active in politics.
I full well realize that politics is a rough and tumble business, but politics should not be reduced to lobbing partisan hand grenades. Politics is not war. Terrorism is.
Politics is about a lot more than winning and losing. I think politics at its best is about compromise, shades of grey and about issues.
Poetry is about the grief. Politics is about the grievance.
Politics is never a victory, it's just the remorseless grinding forward of events.
My father did not groom us for politics. I took the plunge because I wanted to carry on his work in his constituency.
I don't think Jeremy Corbyn hates women - I don't think Jeremy hates anyone. Spend even one minute with him and you would want to take him down to the pub and sink a pint of mild with the man. However, in the hard left of British politics lurks a gruesome misogyny.
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
I am so sick and tired of participating in this predictable cycle of politics, where a mass shooting happens, the left calls for new gun laws - some meaningful, some unproductive - the right yells 'slippery slope' and hides behind the Constitution.
Even with politics, stuff comes around again. Woody Guthrie would recognize America today.
I don't believe in gutter politics. I don't believe in gutter journalism.
I was brought up with a scientific outlook on life. It's the way my father deciphers the world - whether it's football, politics or hairstyles. So I don't get anxious about the future, because I was raised to believe and accept that nothing stays the same, and the best way to survive is to adapt.
