Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures; there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen.”
    —Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)

    “A baby changes your dinner party conversation from politics to poops.”
    —Maurice Johnstone (20th century)

    “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)
