"I thought it completely absurd to mention my name in the same breath as the Presidency."
Dwight Eisenhower
"The longer I am out of office, the more infallible I appear to myself."
Henry Kissinger
"Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary."
Robert Louis Stevenson
"The Vice Presidency is sort of like the last cookie on the plate. Everybody insists he won't take it, but somebody always does."
Bill Vaughan
"Politics has got so expensive that it takes lots of money to even get beat with."
Will Rogers
"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
Douglas Adams

James Madison

Henry Kissinger
"Too bad the only people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair."
George Burns
"Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)."
Ayn Rand
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
Theodore Roosevelt
"The Nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest."
George Washington
"Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
George Orwell
"Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none."
Thomas Jefferson
"Washington is a city of Southern efficiency and Northern charm."
John F. Kennedy
"We are so concerned to flatter the majority that we lose sight of how very often it is necessary, in order to preserve freedom for the minority, let alone for the individual, to face that majority down."
William F. Buckley
"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."
Plato
"A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth."
Adlai Stevenson
"Thanks to TV and for the convenience of TV, you can only be one of two kinds of human beings, either a liberal or a conservative."
Kurt Vonnegut
"As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
George Washington
