Politicians have sat and continue to sit at decisive levers of contemporary history. Their statements often clarify desires or their causes of action. Many of these quotes can also be found in other categories, but if you are looking exclusively for quotes from politicians or political personalities, you have come to the right place.
We neither share the opinions depicted here nor do we distance ourselves from them, but in our opinion thinking about the quotes and finding one or the other parallel and thus maybe also teaching to today's time does not hurt, because “those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it” (Winston Churchill).
