Famous quotes containing the word politicians:

    ““Mother” is the first word that occurs to politicians and columnists and popes when they raise the question, “Why isn’t life turning out the way we want it?””
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    “[I support] term limits for career politicians and the death penalty for career politicians.”
    —William Frist (b. 1952)

    “Practically speaking, the opponents to a reform in Massachusetts are not a hundred thousand politicians at the South, but a hundred thousand merchants and farmers here, who are more interested in commerce and agriculture than they are in humanity, and are not prepared to do justice to the slave and to Mexico, cost what it may. I quarrel not with far-off foes, but with those who, near at home, coöperate with, and do the bidding of, those far away, and without whom the latter would be harmless.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
