David Broder:
Anyone that wants the presidency so much that he'll spend two years organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office.

Eleanor Roosevelt:
Campaign behavior for wives: Always be on time. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Lean back in the parade car so everybody can see the president.

George J. Mitchell:
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.

George Orwell:
In our age there is no such thing as "keeping out of politics." All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.

H. L. Mencken:
A national political campaign is better than the best circus ever heard of, with a mass baptism and a couple of hangings thrown in.
