If you have sense enough to realize why flies gather around a restaurant, you should be able to appreciate why men run for office.

E. W. Howe

I think that all women should consider running for office. What's happening now is just horrifying. With the people we have - with the person we have in the president's office, with so many of the people we have in Congress - we need more progressive women in office. At all levels. From city councils on up. We need women to run. I encourage women to run

Chirlane McCray

I'm not a politician, She says evenly. If I want to be one, I'll run for office. Susan Sarandon, whom I know and love, is a fantastic actress. It's her right as an American to say whatever she wants. [But] just because you're rich and famous doesn't qualify you to make political statements. I don't put my opinions out there to influence people. You have alot of influence. And sometimes I feel it's undeserved influence.

Reese Witherspoon

The problem with elections is that anybody who wants an office badly enough to run for it probably shouldn’t have it. And anybody who does not want an office badly enough to run for it probably shouldn’t have it, either. Government office should be received like a child’s Christmas present, with surprise and delight. Instead it is usually received like a diploma, an anticlimax that never seems worth the struggle to earn it.

Orson Scott Card

People should make distinctions between the office of the presidency and the person who occupies it. You can respect the office even as you lose respect for the individual.

David Greenberg

The reason I actually ran for office is because of Hillary Clinton. Everybody was telling me why I shouldn't run: I was too young, I had small children, I should start at the school board level.

Nikki Haley

Members of the legislature, people who have run for office, know the connection between money and influence on what laws get passed

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

I think more airtime should be given to Donald Trump and Orly Taitz. They should run for office together. They should open for Charlie Sheen.

Henry Rollins

I think members of the legislature, people who have to run for office, know the connection between money and influence on what laws get passed.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The influence of the leaders is due in very small measure to the arguments they employ, but in a large degree to their prestige. The best proof of this is that, should they by any circumstance lose their prestige, their influence disappears.

Gustave Le Bon

I can't tell you how many 30-year-old dudes believe they should be senator or president. Women, we're like, 'Well, maybe after ten years of working...' No. Just run for the office you want to run for and run on the issue you want to fix.

Kirsten Gillibrand

Men should be disqualified for public office. Women should run the planet. They're better than us.

Ted Turner

Obviously it's very hard for everybody to be successful in the Grand Slams, so that's why some of the players, they lose, and they should not lose.

Karolina Pliskova

Ivanka Trump should probably run for office one day.

Chrissy Teigen

Normal people should be able to run for office.

Amy Klobuchar

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.

Sylvia Mathews Burwell
