Famous quotes containing the words politics and, politics and/or government:

    “Our family talked a lot at table, and only two subjects were taboo: politics and personal troubles. The first was sternly avoided because Father ran a nonpartisan daily in a small town, with some success, and did not wish to express his own opinions in public, even when in private.”
    —M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)

    “I believe you to be a brave and a skillful soldier, which, of course, I like. I also believe you do not mix politics with your profession, in which you are right.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “We have passed the time of ... the laisser-faire [sic] school which believes that the government ought to do nothing but run a police force.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
