Quote

Politics and government are certainly among the most important of practical human interests.

I understand that, for some, everything is political.

Every body and thing has politics involved. Every. Single. Thing.

Politics is a contest among people of diverse backgrounds and philosophies, advocating different solutions to common problems. The system only works when principled, energetic people participate.

Political conflicts distort and disturb a people's sense of distinction between matters of importance and matters of urgency. What is vital is disguised by what is merely a matter of well being.

Politics disappears; it vanishes. What remains constant is human life. So I try to develop a perspective in my writing where politics is just one of the pieces of furniture in this furnished world. It is not the purpose. It is not the goal.

We must remember that politics is more than a power game. The core of politics in my view is to serve our citizens, to serve our fellow human beings.

There's politics in all aspects of our daily lives.

We all know that in war the political and military factors have to complement each other.

I think the fact is that anybody who goes into politics feels like 'I can make a difference'. But it's not one person, you need so many others.
