As all our eyes are the American Presidential campaign (which is anything but presidential), here are political quotes from Honest Abe Lincoln to the slick Bill Clinton (you have to ready the quote by Clinton – he actually said that!).
- Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived. – Abraham Lincoln

- We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future. – Franklin D. Roosevelt
- Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct. – Thomas Jefferson
- The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously. – Hubert Humphrey
- Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president but they don’t want them to become politicians in the process. – John F. Kennedy
