I enjoyed the administrative work because it involved working with Congress, city council, and the mayor. I had never been a politician so it was fun – learning political maneuvering. – Harold H. Greene
I recognize I have faults. I’m accountable for them, and I try to do what I can to correct them. I will say that it’s unfortunate that everything I do is scrutinized to the point that it is. Frankly, I don’t watch the news, I stay away from political conversations. – George Zimmerman
I would say that during my lifetime, one of the worst political scandals in Sweden was absolutely what happened surrounding the affair of the submarines in Swedish waters in 1982, where there were supposed to be Russian submarines close to Stockholm. And the military of Sweden never got one up. – Henning Mankell
War is, in fact, an extension of politics, and in any war, military operations have to be conducted in such a way that they contribute to sustainable political outcomes consistent with vital interests that are at stake in that war. – H. R. McMaster
I have healthy disagreements with political parties I’m not aligned with, but I don’t think it should be to the point where we’re cursing and trying to strangle each other. – Henry Rollins
I have had many Ashfield people say to me that they might not agree with my political views or my decisions but that they supported my right to be heard. – Geoff Hoon
Good analysis is very useful when you want to convert a political decision into an investment. It can also go the other way and drive policy. – Hans Rosling
I try to watch a movie a day, if not more, and through movies, I learned about so many different political themes I hadn’t been interested in and cultural things I hadn’t been aware of and economic factors I hadn’t thought about. – Hideo Kojima
The adoption by Jefferson and the Republicans of the political structure of their opponents is of an importance hardly inferior to that of the adoption of the Constitution by the states. – Herbert Croly
The interest which lay behind Federalism was that of well-to-do citizens in a stable political and social order, and this interest aroused them to favor and to seek some form of political organization which was capable of protecting their property and promoting its interest. – Herbert Croly
For me ‘Oliver Twist’ is a political novel. It is a furious critique of the treatment of orphans and poor children who were forced to spend their early lives in ghastly institutions. – Henning Mankell
As long as the appointment process is transparent and there is a broad mix of political views among the governors of the BBC, I think the public can feel confident that impartiality and independence are just as important to me as they have been to previous incumbents. – Gavyn Davies
Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood! – Honore de Balzac
We have the tools, but we have to learn how to use them. That is my political philosophy. – Harri Holkeri
It is better for the Arab countries themselves to interfere out of their national, humanitarian, political and military duties and to do what is necessary to stop the bloodshed in Syria. – Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani
Have the colored people done anything to justify the prejudice against them that does exist in the hearts of so many white persons and, generally, of one great political party in this country? Have they done anything to justify it? No, sir. – Hiram Rhodes Revels
The political process is rough and tumble by definition, and being grounded in faith in a Higher Power has proven helpful in navigating the difficult terrain. – Hakeem Jeffries
A phone tree isn’t an ancient form of political organizing, but you have to call every person. – Howard Rheingold
We live in a world where finding fault in others seems to be the favorite blood sport. It has long been the basis of political campaign strategy. It is the theme of much television programming across the world. It sells newspapers. Whenever we meet anyone, our first, almost unconscious reaction may be to look for imperfections. – Henry B. Eyring
I manage my business; politicians are doing their business. I can only work within their rules and regulations. I can’t pick up a political fight. – Hans Vestberg
And this thesis is somewhat connected with general social and political observations, because it establishes the fact that the number of consumers is considerably larger than the number of producers, a fact which exercises a not inconsiderable social and political pressure. – Hjalmar Schacht
I loathe all political parties, which I regard as inventions of the devil. My favourite prime minister was Sir Alec Douglas-Home, not because he was on the Right, but because he spent a year in office without, on his own admission, doing a damned thing. – George MacDonald Fraser
Whether a woman’s running for office or she’s supporting her husband who’s running for office and she gets criticised for wearing open-toed shoes or for the colour of her coat, there’s just a lot of history that you bear if you are a woman who puts herself out in the political arena. – Hillary Clinton
It’s a law of our natures, especially when the political fit is on us, to applaud where we already approve, and deride where we don’t. – Howard Jacobson
Even military ministers have no more than a certain amount of control. It is customary that they have the right and the power to participate, from a political and military point of view, in the planning of actual operations. – Hideki Tojo
I do not overlook the fact that the appearance of these new, free nations in the European political community not only celebrates the return of the prodigal son but also creates new sources of friction here and there. – Hjalmar Branting
I am not a political writer. I agree with Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell, who are social writers. I can’t write in that fashion. I am not good enough for that. What I am interested in is family dramas and why we are doing bad things to each other and what our motives are. – Hakan Nesser
If you think the system – not you – but if your viewers think that the current political system is working well and serving the interest of our country, then what we’re doing will not be attractive. – Hamilton Jordan
