I know some good political ones:

"politics is show business for ugly people"

"if voting changed anything they'd make it illegal"

"conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives"

"I was told politics was the second oldest profession, I have come to realise it bears a striking resemblance to the first".

Robert Hooke but I doubt it was him.

Red and Blue Army!

Still, nice to see him get a mention. He was a remarkable man.

2. "Capitalism is built on the exploitation of the many by the few."
3."Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies."
4. “Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.”
5.“If one were to take the bible seriously one would go mad. But to take the bible seriously, one must be already mad.”
