Quote

Language is a weapon of politicians, but language is a weapon in much of human affairs.

Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

I know that sometimes politics creates situations in which people want to say particular things for political reasons.

I understand that, for some, everything is political.

In common use almost every word has many shades of meaning, and therefore needs to be interpreted by the context.

There are times when the power of language is not the power that is needed.

Language is always burdened by thought.

It seems to me that politicians ought to use the same words as other people.

Every country has its political face and political traditions.

We tend to look through language and not realize how much power language has.
