Famous quotes containing the word politics:

    “Finishing second in the Olympics gets you silver. Finishing second in politics gets you oblivion.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (b. 1913)

    “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)

    “The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
