We need to be strong in order to avoid war; and to win. A politician looks forward only to the next election. A statesman looks forward to the next generation. Any person who is over 30 and is not a conservative, has no brains.

Winston Churchill

A politician thinks of the next election; a statement of the next generation. A politician looks for the success of his party; a statesman for that of his country. The statesman wishes to steer, while the politician is satisfied to drift.

James Freeman Clarke

The difference between a politician and a statesman is that a politician thinks about the next election while the statesman think about the next generation

Hillary Clinton

A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.

Charm is the next best asset after looks and brains - and can almost make up for looks.

Helen Gurley Brown

What one generation finds ridiculous, the next accepts; and the third shudders when it looks back on what the first did.

Peter Singer

My guess is that my mom and dad are very actively involved in the affairs of the next life, and they don't spend too much time looking back. My dad used to say he always looks forward; he never looks back.

Mitt Romney

Carnegie Hall is as good as they say it is. It's not like Stonehenge which looks great in books but then you go there and it's a pile of rocks next to a highway. There's actually a highway right next to it, but you don't see that in pictures.

Bill Burr

When we go on about the big things, the political situation, global warming, world poverty, it all looks really terrible, with nothing getting better, nothing to look forward to. But when I think small, closer in - you know, a girl I've just met, or this song we're going to do with Chas, or snowboarding next month, then it looks great. So this is going to be my motto - think small.

Ian Mcewan

You never know: the next DJ Snake, the next Skrillex, the next big DJs might wait outside of the club. You gotta give back and listen to the next generation and show some love.

DJ Snake

There is one candidate in this election who will protect that dream. One leader who will fight hard to keep the promise of America for the next generation. And that's why we must stand up and make Mitt Romney the next president of the United States.

Susana Martinez

I still believe that term limits is the best way to ensure that the next generation, not the next election, is the central concern in our elected bodies.

Tom Coburn

If more politicians in this country were thinking about the next generation instead of the next election, it might be better for the United States and the world.

Claude Pepper

Don't walk next to me, it looks gay.

Jonah

We can’t afford to be so worried about losing the next election that we lose the battles we owe to the next generation. The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result. And that’s a risk we can’t take.

Barack Obama

A politician thinks about the next elections - the statesman thinks about the next generations.
