Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “Politics begin where the masses are, not where there are thousands, but where there are millions, that is where serious politics begin.”
    —Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)

    “They who have been bred in the school of politics fail now and always to face the facts. Their measures are half measures and makeshifts merely. They put off the day of settlement, and meanwhile the debt accumulates.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Every two years the American politics industry fills the airwaves with the most virulent, scurrilous, wall-to-wall character assassination of nearly every political practitioner in the country—and then declares itself puzzled that America has lost trust in its politicians.”
    —Charles Krauthammer (b. 1950)
