Social equity is based on justice; politics change on the opinion of the time. The black man's skin will be a mark of social inferiority so long as white men are conceited, ignorant, unjust, and prejudiced. You cannot legislate these qualities out of the white - you must steal them out by teaching, illustration, and example. (John Boyle O'Reilly)
In the early West, law and politics were parallel roads to usefulness as well as distinction. View quote
John George Nicolay
I understand the process of politics and the game of television. View quote
John H. Sununu
We have been educated into believing someone else's concept of the deity, and someone else's standard of beauty. You have the right to practice any religion and politics in a way that best suits your freedom, your dignity, and your understanding. And once you do that, you don't apologize. View quote
John Henrik Clarke

John Hewson

John Mellencamp
Here's a very good rule of thumb in politics: losing begets losing. View quote
John Podhoretz

John Sayles
Barbecue is the third rail of North Carolina politics. View quote
John Shelton Reed
I came back from university thinking I knew all about politics and racism, not knowing my dad had been one of the youngest-serving Labour councillors in the town and had refused to work in South Africa years ago because of the situation there. And he's never mentioned it - you just find out. That's a real man to me. A sleeping lion. View quote
Johnny Vegas
Politics is a lot of serendipity. You're in the right place and the right time and you've got the right message, and it either connects for you or, or it doesn't. (Jon Huntsman, Jr.)
A wise nation should cultivate a political spirit that allows opponents to cooperate without fearing an automatic execution from their core supporters. Who knew that the real rogues in American politics would be the ones who dare to get along? View quote
Jon Meacham
While we remain a nation decisively shaped by religious faith, our politics and our culture are, in the main, less influenced by movements and arguments of an explicitly Christian character than they were even five years ago. I think this is a good thing - good for our political culture. View quote
Jon Meacham
It would be great if politics were fact-based, but it is not, and it is surely not nuance-based. What works in a classroom or a think tank does not work on Capitol Hill or in the White House. Obama sometimes seems to be running the Brookings Institution, not the country. View quote
Jon Meacham
Once the cry and the cause of a generation of progressives to make America safer, fairer and cleaner, 'regulation' is now a dirty word in our politics. Even Democrats are quick to talk about cutting regulations; Republicans hate them with - how to put it? - evangelical fervor. View quote
Jon Meacham
A lot of people are in politics to make friends, too, instead of making positive change. They're worried about getting re-elected. View quote
Jon Runyan
In politics almost all of us are nerds, so that's just a given... but we're cool nerds. View quote
Jonathan Krohn
I listened to Bill Bennett and tons of other talk show hosts who talked about that and other policies and started branching out and caring about other issues in regards to politics. View quote
Jonathan Krohn
I got into politics when I was eight years old. View quote
Jonathan Krohn
The more film I watch, the more John Ford looks like a giant. His politics aren't so good, and you have to learn to accept John Wayne as an actor, but he's a poet in black and white. View quote
Jonathan Lethem
Seattle is a liberal city, its politics not so much blue (in the American, not the British, sense) as deep ultramarine, and its manners are studiously polite. (Jonathan Raban)
I have very intense conversations with friends, people I really interconnect with. We talk about politics, important things. I like to talk about ideas and get people to be specific. View quote
Jacqueline Bisset
The power of the silent filibuster to distort Senate politics is now accepted on Capitol Hill and by the press as normal and not worth mentioning. Let me be the skunk at this political garden party and say this stinks. Representative government was not designed to work this way by the Founding Fathers. View quote
Juan Williams
The 2012 presidential campaign's turn away from the classic, straight-up, American election - where the candidate who gets the most votes nationwide wins - is another sad reminder of the extreme political polarization distorting today's politics. No one talks about a 50-state strategy for winning the presidency these days. View quote
Juan Williams
Most people get their politics, obviously, from TV shows about senators or movies about them or... all the day-to-day press and the talk shows. View quote
