Quote

Politics is largely a matter of heart.

It takes heart to be in political life.

Politics is the art of the next best.

We shouldn't accept mediocrity as the best a politician can do.

Politics is a noble activity. We should revalue it, practise it with vocation and a dedication that requires testimony, martyrdom, that is to die for the common good.

I don't think that politics attracts the best and the brightest of America. It doesn't attract the most sincere people.

If you have a deep-seated need to be loved and admired every day, you shouldn't be in politics. You should go work at a pet store.

Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is.

I think issues and substance, policy and vision and record should be the meat of politics.

The art of politics is knowing what to do next.
