Public Officials Quotes

Barbara Jordan quote: "If we promise as public officials, we must deliver. If we as..."
If we promise as public officials, we must deliver. If we as public officials propose, we must produce. Barbara Jordan
I propose a Constitutional Amendment providing that, if any public official, elected or appointed, at any level of government, is caught lying to any member of the public for any reason, the punishment shall be death by public hanging. L. Neil Smith
We call ourselves public servants but I'll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. It is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the common good. Barbara Jordan
In view of our public pledges, we public officials can never again go before the public merely promising election reform. The time for promises is past. Charles Edison
Citizen participation is a device whereby public officials induce nonpublic individuals to act in a way the officials desire. Daniel Patrick Moynihan
The gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry, or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile? Robert Kennedy
The gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage; neither our wisdom nor our learning; neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life... John F. Kennedy
Thus, we consider this case against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials. William J. Brennan
For decades, the journalistic norm had been that the private lives of public officials remained private unless that life impinged on public performance. Roger Mudd
The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, the public debt should be reduced and the arrogance of public officials should be controlled. Ross Perot
We must have public officials who will stand up and tell the people exactly what they think... Our failure in recent years has not been the failure of the people to meet the challenges placed before them, but rather the failure of both our great political parties to place those challenges honestly and courageously before the people, and to trust the willingness of the people to do the things that really need to be done. Joe Biden
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else. Theodore Roosevelt
Dave Freudenthal quote: "The safest course for public officials is simply to throw all..."
The safest course for public officials is simply to throw all of the money in a sack. Dave Freudenthal
James Jarrell Pickle quote: "If you were a public official, you had to be accountable, and..."
If you were a public official, you had to be accountable, and you had to be reachable. James Jarrell Pickle
In the coming days, I know there will be some reflecting on my time as mayor. Many of you will search to find what's behind my decision. It's simple. I have always believed that every person, especially public officials, must understand when it is time to move on. For me, that time is now. Richard M. Daley
