"In politics people give you what they think you deserve and deny you what they think you want." More In Politics "My message to you all is of hope, courage and confidence. Let us mobilize all our resources in a systematic and organized way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation."― Muhammad Ali Jinnah "Money was never the motivation. It never should be in sports."― Katarina Witt "If you’re sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign."― George W. Bush
