Political Parties Quotes - Page 6

• A wise man once said, 'Every one of us is given the gift of life, and what a strange gift it is. If it is preserved jealously and selfishly, it impoverishes and saddens. But if it is spent for others, it enriches and beautifies.' My fellow Americans: We can debate policies and programs, but in the end what separates the two parties in this election campaign is whether we use the gift of life for others or only ourselves.

• Hace mucho tiempo, existía una palabra noble, liberal, que deriva de la palabra libre. Ahora bien, algo extraño ocurrió con esa palabra. Un hombre llamado Hitler la convirtió en un término de abuso, una cuestión de sospecha, porque los que no estaban con él estaban contra él, y los liberales no tenían ningún uso para Hitler. Y luego otro hombre llamado McCarthy arrojó el mismo oprobio sobre la palabra. ... Debemos apreciar y honrar la palabra libre o dejará de aplicarse a nosotros.

• It is legitimate to have one's own point of view and political philosophy. But there are people who make anger, rather than a deeply held belief, the basis of their actions. They do not seem to mind harming society as a whole in the pursuit of their immediate objective. No society can survive if it yields to the demands of frenzy, whether of the few or the many.

• En nuestra época, el discurso y la escritura políticos son en gran medida la defensa de lo indefendible. Cosas como la continuación del dominio británico en la India, las purgas y deportaciones rusas, el lanzamiento de las bombas atómicas sobre Japón, pueden ser defendidas, pero sólo con argumentos que son demasiado brutales para la mayoría de la gente y que no encajan con los objetivos declarados de los partidos políticos. Así pues, el lenguaje político tiene que consistir en gran medida en eufemismos, preguntas y vaguedades.

• the overwhelming majority of people who are engaged in the processes of thought and expression are Democrats because the essence of thought is exploration and diversity and change. It's impossible to have vision in art or government without risk, or the boldness and courage which produce risk. And this - in spite of what they call modern Republicanism - is the antithesis of true Republican thinking.

• It is my feeling that as we grow older we should become not less radical but more so. I do not, of course, mean this in any political-party sense, but rather in a willingness to struggle for those things in which we passionately believe. Social activism and the struggle for social justice are often thought of as the natural activities of the young but not of the middle-aged or the elderly. In fact, I don't think this was ever true.
