The test of policy is how it ends, not how it begins. Foreign policy is the art of establishing priorities. Demonization is not a policy; it is an alibi for the absence of one. The test is not absolute satisfaction but balanced dissatisfaction.

Henceforth the adequacy of any military establishment will be tested by its ability to preserve the peace.

The emergence of a unified Europe is one of the most revolutionary events of our time.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

China had never had to deal in...

China had never had to deal in a world of countries of approximately equal strength, and so to adjust to such a world, is in itself a profound challenge to China, which now has fourteen countries on its borders, some of which are small, but can project their nationality into China, some of which are large, and historically significant, so that any attempt by Chinese to dominate the world, would involve in a disastrous for the peace of the world.

Don't be too ambitious. Do the most important thing you can think of doing every year and then your career will take care of itself.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

History is not, of course, a c...

History is not, of course, a cookbook offering pretested recipes. It teaches by analogy, not by maxims. It can illuminate the consequences of actions in comparable situations, yet each generation must discover for itself what situations are in fact comparable.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

[The New World Order] cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change it's perceptions.

Clearly security without values is like a ship without a rudder. But values without security are like a rudder without a ship.

Jews were segregated from 1933 on. We could only play against other Jewish teams. This wasn't just social segregation; this was the beginning of the extermination of the Jews. That's why my family left Germany in 1938.

Diplomats operate through deadlock, which is the way by which two sides can test each other's determination. Even if they have egos for it few heads of government have the time to resolve stalemates, their meetings are too short and the demands of protocol too heavy.

John Paul II was one of the greatest men of the last century. Perhaps the greatest.

A nation riven by factions, in which the minority has no hope of ever becoming a majority, or in which some group knows it is perpetually outcast, will seem oppressive to its members, whatever the legal pretensions.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

The reason prophets are so rar...

The reason prophets are so rarely honored in their own country is that their role is to transcend the limits of their contemporaries' experience and imagination. They achieve recognition only when their vision has been turned into experience - in short, when it is too late to benefit from their foresight.

Committees are consumers and sometimes sterilizers of ideas, rarely creators of them.

Competing pressures tempt one to believe that an issue deferred is a problem avoided; more often it is a crisis invited.

Every success is usually an admission ticket to a new set of decisions.

Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.

For the West, the demonization of Vladimir Putin is not a policy; it is an alibi for the absence of one. Putin is a serious strategist Ђ' on the premises of Russian history. Understanding US values and psychology are not his strong suits. Nor has understanding Russian history and psychology been a strong point among US policymakers.'
