It is important that the United States remain a two-party system. I’m a fellow who likes small parties and the Republican Party can’t be too small to suit me.

People make a big fuss over you when you’re President. But I’m very serious about doing everything I can to make sure that it doesn’t go to my head.

I seldom think of politics more than eighteen hours a day.

Ronald Reagan used to alarm other constituencies by speaking freely about the End Times foreshadowed in the Bible.

The issues a president faces are not black and white, and cannot be boiled down into 140 characters. Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military at your command, you can’t make snap decisions. You can’t have a thin skin or the tendency to lash out.

I really don’t like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they’re horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They’d better sort themselves out and become more womanly.

I neither will aspire to nor will I accept, the position of president of the council of state and commander in chief.

The U.S. and its allies will do anything they can to prevent authentic democracy in the Arab world.

Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception.

Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement.

When the Revolution triumphed in 1959, our island was a true Yankee colony. The United States had duped and disarmed our Liberation Army. One couldn’t speak of developed agriculture, but of immense plantations exploited on the base of manual and animal labour that in general used neither fertilizers nor machinery.

Politics is a profession; a serious, complicated and, in its true sense, a noble one.

It’s easy being a humorist when you’ve got the whole government working for you.

I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican.

And frankly, I don’t understand – I mean, I’m obviously a card-carrying Democrat – but I can’t understand why any woman would want to vote for Mitt Romney, except maybe Mrs. Romney.

Trump has no sense of shame.

In many respects, the United States is a great country. Freedom of speech is protected more than in any other country. It is also a very free society.

The label ‚liberal‘ or ‚conservative,‘ any – every time I hear that, I think of the great Gilbert and Sullivan song from ‚Iolanthe.‘ It goes, ‚Every gal and every boy that’s born alive is either a little liberal or else a little conservative.‘ What do those labels mean? It depends on whose ox is being gored.

I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

Politics is the most important of the civil activities and has its own field of action, which is not that of religion.

A gaffe in Washington is someone telling the truth, and telling the truth has never hurt me.

You begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.

Politics is a noble activity. We should revalue it, practise it with vocation and a dedication that requires testimony, martyrdom, that is to die for the common good.

Let me just be very clear that the Republican Party will select a nominee that will beat Bill Clinton.

I can’t go out with a Republican.

There is too much government today. We’ve got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.

The United States never lost a war or won a conference.

I know black people love the idea that we finally have a beautiful, good-looking black president. But if he is doing awful things to us, we should wake up.

I’m not a conservative of any kind.

To govern means to pillage, as everyone knows.

There’s a War Crimes Act in the United States passed by a Republican Congress in 1996, which says that grave breaches of the Geneva Convention are subject to the death penalty. And that doesn’t mean the soldier that committed them – that means the commanders.

Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.

Everything is political. I will never be a politician or even think political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing to me.

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

Let me tell you what I literally told every world leader I’ve met with, and I’ve met them all: It’s never, never, never been a good bet to bet against America. We have the finest fighting force in the world.

The more you observe politics, the more you’ve got to admit that each party is worse than the other.

Liberals seem to assume that, if you don’t believe in their particular political solutions, then you don’t really care about the people that they claim to want to help.

It’s nice to say let’s be bipartisan. But we’re a partisan nation. We were raised as a partisan nation.

The American doctor, in my opinion, possesses a combination of conservatism and that other quality which has put the United States in the forefront in almost every department of science – that is, an eagerness to know what it is really all about in order that he may not be the one left behind if there is something to it.

The time has come for us to draw the line. The time has come for the responsible leaders of both political parties to take a stand against overgrown Government and for the American taxpayer.

There’s some jerks. There’s some big egos. There are a few that think they’re one of the Founding Fathers… in both parties.

We’ve switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics – trying to play a serious part in the world – to a culture that’s really entertainment-based.

Nixon was no more a saint than he was a great president.

A politician is a man who understands government. A statesman is a politician who’s been dead for 15 years.

I was a little worried that young people would think the only game was being political and manipulative when really the bigger game is being so good at what you do that nobody can argue with your results.

The fundamental question I believe is, ‚Is political Islam in our best interest?‘ If not, what is our policy to authoritatively support the countervailing forces?

Facts are not liberals‘ strong suit. Rhetoric is.

Politics has always been ugly to me, and yet I accept that as a fact of life.

In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to another.

Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics many times.

For all who love freedom and peace, the world without Saddam Hussein’s regime is a better and safer place.

Empire and liberty.

There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors… I mean it.

I’ve never seen America as an imperialist or colonialist or meddling country.

Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.

The mark of a true politician is that he is never at a loss for words because he is always half-expecting to be asked to make a speech.

I am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement.

The United States tyrannizes and pillages the globalized world with its political, economic, technological, and military might.

The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men.

Our country was founded by geniuses, but it’s being run by idiots.

Political courage is not political suicide.
