A Quote by David Petraeus

I will not ever run for political office, I can assure you of that. — © David Petraeus
I will not ever run for political office, I can assure you of that.
I will not ever run for political office. I can assure you.
Nobody ever wins the first time they run for office. Nobody's ever supposed to win their first bid for office. Nobody's ever supposed to win without taking lobbyists' money. No one's ever supposed to defeat an incumbent. No one's ever supposed to run a grassroots campaign without running any ads on television. We did all of those things.
What a grassroots party is about is people getting excited, getting involved in the local political process, saying, we want our candidate to run for office, we want him to run for office, and we're going to get involved and make sure that he or she wins.
Everybody runs for political office knocking somebody, and very few run on 'This is what I stand for. This is what I believe will solve these problems.'
My mom didn't run for mayor until she was 65 years old - it was like a second and third career.... The way I've always thought about it is that I don't believe you run for office because you want a job. I believe if you run for office, it's because you have a vision for change. And if I ever came to that point, that's what would lead [me to run]. And right now I'm happily in a position where I believe I can work to deliver impact and work for change.
We do need women in civic life. We do need women to run for office, to be in political office. We need a feminist to be at the table when decisions are being made so that the right decisions will be made.
I'm not going to run for political office.
My life will not be defined by a single political campaign. Those will come and go. But what has driven me to run for elected office in the past still drives me today: the knowledge that heroes do walk among us with tremendous strength and power.
I have a message for any young woman who is thinking about running for office and has ever attended a costume party... or done anything stupid on camera. Run for office. Fight for this country.
Would I consider a run for political office? Yes.
It is a tremendous sacrifice to run for political office in America today.
I have never run for office and I don't have political experience. But I do have life experiences.
I can assure you that during my tenure as his employee, Bob Ney was the hardest working man in Ohio and Washington. I can further assure you the work that he did and the decisions he made were done with integrity and the highest regard for his office and those he served.
I thought I'd grow up to be a teacher, or maybe run for political office.
For an entrepreneur who has spent his entire career creating jobs, I can assure you that leaving my business to help President Trump confirm conservative judges is well worth my decision to run for office and a great use of the Senate's time, given how dysfunctional Washington can be.
When I make a film, I'm not doing it purely for political reasons. If I just wanted to do that, I'd run for office.
