So, what I say to people is that politics has got to be about principle and values above all. Of course, there are times when you have to make accommodations.
Frankly, if you do politics, you should not be thinking about your dignity.
Politics is only worthwhile if you are doing what you believe, regardless of the slings and arrows.
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 would be a helluva good business if it weren't for the goddamned people.
Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage.
Politics is not really my thing.
That's the one thing I probably don't like about politics - the focus on the individual. To me, it's more important to get it done, whether I get the credit for it or not.
I think everyone knows how much of a joint effort being in politics is. It requires all kinds of sacrifices and all kinds of support.
Political parties exist to get bums on seats.
