Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.”
    —Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)

    “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)

    “The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.”
    —Ben C. Bradlee (b. 1921)
