Speaking of Politics: Quotes by Leaders, Thinkers, and Rebels; A Quiz Deck

“In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” “Government is like a big baby—an alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.” This deck of 48 Knowledge Cards contains some of the most memorable musings about politics ever to flow from the lips and pens of philosophers, first ladies, presidents, prime ministers, revolutionaries, and more. The fronts of the cards present brief quotations; the backs identify their sources and place the words in historical context. Enjoyed as a solitary perusal or quizzed aloud to a crowd, Speaking of Politics educates, entertains, and explains why “the stakes are too high for government to be a spectator sport.”
