All JOHN ADAMS Quotes about “Politicians”

“In politics the middle way is none at all.”
“I sometimes, in my sprightly moments, consider myself, in my great chair at school, as some dictator at the head of a commonwealth. In this little state I can discover all the great geniuses, all the surprising actions and revolutions of the great world in miniature. I have several renowned generals but three feet high, and several deep-projecting politicians in petticoats. I have others catching and dissecting flies, accumulating remarkable pebbles, cockleshells, etc., with as ardent curiosity as any virtuoso in the Royal Society.”
“All great changes are irksome to the human mind, especially those which are attended with great dangers and uncertain effects.”
“They worry one another like mastiffs, scrambling for rank and pay like apes for nuts.”
“Politics are a labyrinth without a clue.”
