all politics QUOTES

1 " The materialist theory of history, that all politics and ethics are the expression of economics, is a very simple fallacy indeed. It consists simply of confusing the necessary conditions of life with the normal preoccupations of life, that are quite a different thing. It is like saying that because a man can only walk about on two legs, therefore he never walks about except to buy shoes and stockings. "

― G.K. Chesterton , The Everlasting Man

3 " Establishing lasting peace is the work of education all politics can do is keep us out of war. "

5 " When we say, even in a global village, that all politics is local, we mean that national sovereignties are the only reliable source of political authority. "
