10 QUOTES WITH «POLITICIAN»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word politician.
1
Aravind Adiga
Indians mock their corrupt politicians relentlessly, but they regard their honest politicians with silent suspicion. The first thing they do when they hear of a supposedly 'clean' politician is to grin. It is a cliche that honest politicians in India tend to have dishonest sons, who collect money from people seeking an audience with Dad.
2
Douglas Alexander
There's no doubt that what has emerged in the years after 9/11, unlike the situation in Britain, there were practices sanctioned in the U.S. that fall far below the standard of conduct that should have taken place. It is for the American system of government, in all of its branches, to address that. It is not for a British politician.
3
Aristophanes
Under every stone lurks a politician.
4
Joe Arpaio
I'm elected. I don't report to any politician. I report to the people. If I had to report to any politician, I'd quit tomorrow. I'm not tall, dark and handsome. They don't vote for me because I look like a movie star. I can't get that vote. People keep voting for me because they like what I do.
5
Jean Baudrillard
It only takes a politician believing in what he says for the others to stop believing him.
6
Silvio Berlusconi
The link between my experience as an entrepreneur and that of a politician is all in one word: freedom.

Simon Cameron
An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.
8
Billy Campbell
I would make a horrible politician, because I wouldn't enjoy my work.
9
Charlie Chaplin
I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.
10

A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.
