Synopsis
This revised new edition, now available as a handy pocket-sized paperback, provides more than 4,500 quotations, covering the people, events, and ideas of some 2,500 years of politics: the inspiring speeches and the disastrous gaffes. Antony Jay has selected the best sayings of and about politicians both past and present, ranging from Karl Marx to George W. Bush and Elizabeth I to Ken Livingstone, and touching on subjects as diverse as warfare, nationalism, honesty, and the ever-sensitive issue of taxation. Newspaper headlines, Slogans, and other special categories are grouped together for easier access, and an extensive index helps you to find out who really said that half-remembered phrase. With the addition of Sound bites of 2000-4, events covered include the terrorist attacks of September 11th, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the enlargement of the European Union.
States like these...constitute an axis of evil.
--George W. Bush
A good day to bury bad news.
--Summary of Jo Moore's email of September 11th
There is no list, and Syria isn't on it.
--Jack Straw
