Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “Politics is not an end, but a means. It is not a product, but a process. It is the art of government. Like other values it has its counterfeits. So much emphasis has been placed upon the false that the significance of the true has been obscured and politics has come to convey the meaning of crafty and cunning selfishness, instead of candid and sincere service.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)

    “Political organizations have slowly substituted themselves for the Churches as the places for believing practices.... Politics has once again become religious.”
    —Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
