Charles De GaulleI have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
About This Quote
In this clever little quote, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds people that politics should not be left to those with an agenda. In this case, he was speaking of President Lyndon Johnson and his anti-civil rights policies during his presidency.
However, the idea applies to all politicians and political parties. It also applies to the media, a company whose goal is to make a profit off of selling you a product that has no interest in your well-being or happiness. If you think about it, all politicians have an agenda and they will push for it regardless of what you need from them.
That’s what makes them politicians.
