Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “In politics people throw themselves, as on a sickbed, from one side to the other in the belief they will lie more comfortably.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilization and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “Finishing second in the Olympics gets you silver. Finishing second in politics gets you oblivion.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (b. 1913)
