All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies.
-John
Arbuthnot
And political parties, overanxious for vote catching, become tolerant to
intolerant groups.
-Wendell Willkie
For me, the lame part of the Sixties was the political part, the social
part. The real part was the spiritual part.
-Jerry Garcia
Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party.
-Herbert
Hoover
I have no use for those- regardless of their political party- who hold
some foolish dream of spinning the clock back to days when unorganized
labor was a huddled, almost helpless mass.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
I think it's already apparent that a good part of this Nation
understands- if only instinctively- that anything which seems to suggest
that God favors a political party or the establishment of a state
church, is wrong and dangerous.
-Mario Cuomo
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination
to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a
political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.
-Dwight
D. Eisenhower
Political language- and with variations this is true of all political
parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists- is designed to make lies
sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of
solidity to pure wind.
-George Orwell
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security,
unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you
would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a
tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things...
a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or
business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are
stupid.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
The last thing a political party gives up is its vocabulary.
-Alexis
de Tocqueville
The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers.
-Kurt
Vonnegut, Jr.
There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is
not capable; for in politics there is no honor.
-Benjamin Disraeli
To mix environmental concerns with the frantic fantasies that people
have about one political party or another is to miss the cold truth-
that there is very little difference between the parties, except a
difference in pandering rhetoric.
-Michael Crichton
When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a
European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is
violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind.
When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it
breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not
belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or
partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
-Jiddu
Krishnamurti
