Anybody who has political ambition has an Achilles heel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I really don't have tremendous political ambition. I have policy ambition.
There are politicians who seethe with ambition all the time, and there are a lot of other politicians who don't. I'm in the second category, that's all.
Once you've built the big machinery of political power, remember you won't always be the one to run it.
I have no political aspirations. That's it.
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.
Any politician who wants to run for president will come to me in a few years.
The most successful politicians are the ones who embrace their best traits while turning their liabilities into loveable attributes. And yet, many a candidate tries to run as something they aren't simply because the strategy dictates it.
I am an ambitious person, but I am not ambitious in the sense that I want jobs only for the sake of them... I am here to do things I think are worthwhile. I am always careful that the political positions I take are consistent with good policy. I would not want to be prime minister of Australia at any price.
Under every stone lurks a politician.
Ambition, of course, is the politician's currency.
