Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “Of course politics is an interesting and engrossing thing. It offers no immutable laws, nearly always prevaricates, but as far as blather and sharpening the mind go, it provides inexhaustible material.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.”
    —Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)

    “Finance is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger.”
    —Mario Puzo, U.S. author, screenwriter, and Francis Ford Coppola, U.S. director, screenwriter. Michael Corleone (Al Pacino)
