Sharing quotes
Elections are coming. It’s a good time to share quotes about politics and politicians with new followers and guests.
My old friend sent me a message with quotes of famous people.
Some of these quotes are well-known.
Here are the quotes:
If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn’t be any inducement to go to heaven.
~Will Rogers~
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
~Nikita Khrushchev~
When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I’m beginning to believe it.
~Clarence Darrow~
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.
~Oscar Ameringer~
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.
~ Tex Guinan~
Several quotes of Edmund Burke.
“To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.”
“Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing.”
“Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.”
Several quotes about promises.
“Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.” ~Norman Vincent Peale
“A promise made is a debt unpaid.”
~Robert Service
“An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.” ~William Dean Howells
“Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep.” ~Denis Waitley
Several quotes about treaties.
Charles De Gaulle – “Treaties are like roses and young girls — they last while they last.”
Benjamin Franklin – “Mad kings and mad bulls are not to be held by treaties and packthread.”
I am sure you know what I have in mind. Any comments?
