Elected Quotes

Well, I’ve been in the political arena all of my life, and 10 years of that as a candidate and elected official, and that’s about enough Picture Quote #1

The very fact that I became mayor in 1977 conveys how you can’t figure out what the people will do. Nobody thought I would be elected. When I entered I got four percent of the vote in the first poll, four percent Picture Quote #1

My personal view is always I’m in favour of anything that gives parliament a greater say. That’s after all what we were elected for Picture Quote #1

I was much more comfortable and a much better congressman running in a district that was 37 percent black, where I had to have a white constituency to get elected, than I would have been if I was in a 75 percent black district Picture Quote #1

At a time when everything seems so out of control and the people you’ve elected are bogus and there’s so much random violence and hatred, it fills you with such hope and admiration to even be part for a short time in a community where people have connected to strangers to try to put out a hand Picture Quote #1

If nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline, and even if unanimously elected, I should decline to serve Picture Quote #1

These are the people we elected and if we are not satisfied we should get new candidates. It is in our hands. It is our country. It is a very simplistic view that politicians are to blame for everything Picture Quote #1

Tyranny seldom announces itself... In fact, a tyranny may exist without an individual tyrant. A whole government, even a democratically elected one, may be tyrannical Picture Quote #1

Don’t get mad. Don’t get even. Just get elected, then get even Picture Quote #1

It ought to be done by the elected officials themselves because they have the credibility. And it’s not like we aren’t willing to help Picture Quote #1

Corruption is uniquely reprehensible in a democracy because it violates the system’s first principle, which we all learned back in the sunshiny days of elementary school: that the government exist to serve the public, not particular companies or individuals or even elected officials Picture Quote #1

We cannot allow violence from militant activists to dictate where and how democratically elected state leaders hold their meetings Picture Quote #1

Without the elected president and if there is a freak result, within two or three years, the army would have to come in and stop it Picture Quote #1

Those gentlemen, who will be elected senators, will fix themselves in the federal town, and become citizens of that town more than of your state Picture Quote #1

It always blows me away when I see people freak out because I’ve changed my mind on something. I’m not an elected official, folks. I didn’t get my job by promising a bunch of things. I’m a businessman and a creator. If I don’t have the ability to change my mind, if I don’t have the ability to be open to different points of view, then I can’t do this job properly Picture Quote #1

You can throw away the privilege of acting, but that would be such a shame. The tribe has elected you to tell its story. You are the shaman/healer, that’s what the storyteller is, and I think it’s important for actors to appreciate that. Too often actors think it’s all about them, when in reality it’s all about the audience being able to recognize themselves in you. The more you pull away from the public, the less power you have on screen Picture Quote #1

If for no other reason, personal pride should prompt every governor and state legislator to take a secessionist attitude; they were not elected to be lackeys of the federal bureaucracy Picture Quote #1

I honestly believe I’d make one of the worst elected officials in the history of this country Picture Quote #1

Any time an elected official in the world we’re in today that appears so dysfunctional challenges a core constituency not of their opponent but of their own political base, I think we should pause and give them credit Picture Quote #1

Oh beautiful for spacious skies, but now those skies are threatening. They’re beating plowshares into swords for this tired old man we elected king Picture Quote #1

I’m not an elected official who puts a finger in the wind to see what the majority thinks; I represent women, whether they’re popular or not Picture Quote #1

I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff, and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government Picture Quote #1

For me, a better democracy is a democracy where women do not only have the right to vote and to elect but to be elected Picture Quote #1

Presidents should do whatever possible and practical to encourage an environment of cooperation and bipartisanship. And they should maintain a certain level of decorum, diplomacy and decency. But, at the end of the day, presidents get elected to enact change Picture Quote #1

I entered politics in 1967; since then, continuously, I am getting elected... Fortunately I never lost the elections Picture Quote #1

The job of an elected president is to overcome the past and change the playing field Picture Quote #1

You have elected to follow this path you do not know. You have elected to follow the path because eternity has elected you. You will follow it is as long as eternity holds you to it Picture Quote #1

We applaud the people who are film stars, who get elected to an office, who are very athletic, the small group who play with power in a very limited way. But we’re completely oblivious to what can be done to the infinite realities that exist in front of us. We deny them Picture Quote #1

The citizens must be certain that the governor is attending to the duties for which he was elected Picture Quote #1

No matter how humble a man’s beginnings, he achieves the stature of the office to which he is elected Picture Quote #1
