Albert Einstein. Oscar Ameringer. Larry Hardiman.

For all of us who are concerned for peace and the triumph of reason and justice must today be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good-will exert upon events in the political field. But however that may be, and whatever fate may have in store for us, yet we may rest assured that without the tireless efforts of those who are concerned with the welfare of humanity as a whole, the lot of mankind would be still worse than in fact it even now is. Albert Einstein.

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. Oscar Ameringer.

The word “politics” is derived from the word “poly,” meaning “many,” and the word “ticks,” meaning “blood-sucking parasites.” Larry Hardiman.
