“Since a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.”
Charles de Gaulle
“When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman.”
Joss Whedon
“Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word.”
“It only takes a politician believing in what he says for the others to stop believing him.”
Jean Baudrillard
“Men say I am a saint losing himself in politics. The fact is that I am a politician trying my hardest to become a saint.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“I'm not really cut out to be a politician. You know that I sometimes don't know when to shut up. That could be a drawback. I'm an atheist. So there you go right there. I can't be elected to anything because polls all say that people won't elect an atheist... As we all know, that is something people won't accept.”
Ron Reagan
“And I’ll tell you, few things make me more angry than some out of touch Washington politician saying that Head Start doesn’t work. That’s a flat out lie and it’s disrespectful to you and the tens of thousands of Americans who make this program work for children every single day.”
Senator John Kerry
