Famous quotes containing the words politics and/or government:

    “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)

    “Our system of government, in spite of Vietnam, Cambodia, CIA, Watergate, is still the best system of government on earth. And the greatest resource of all are the 215 million Americans who still have within us the strength, the character, the intelligence, the experience, the patriotism, the idealism, the compassion, the sense of brotherhood on which we can rely in the future to restore the greatness to our country.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
