I don't ascribe to myself any special competence in economic insight. I translate what I hear from highly intelligent people into political and philosophical propositions.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

I think when the president of...

I think when the president of the United States calls for military action, he should do it for a united people, especially when the methods have been so cruel, so explicitly directed at Americans.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

It's never happened in histor...

It's never happened in history that every region in the world could affect every other region simultaneously. The Roman empire and the Chinese empire didn't know much about each other and had no means of interacting. Now we have every continent able to reach every other.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

A leader who confines his role to his people's experience dooms himself to stagnation; a leader who outstrips his people's experience runs the risk of not being understood.

There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

The nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it's their fault.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

We cannot always assure the f...

We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

If eighty percent of your sales come from twenty percent of all of your items, just carry those twenty percent.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

I think we would find, if you study the conduct of guerilla-type wars, that the Obama Administration has hit more targets on a broader scale than the Nixon Administration ever did.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton both had exceptional natural abilities. Nelson Rockefeller was very good statewide but never gained national traction.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.

If you don't know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

Moderation is a virtue only in those who are thought to have an alternative.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other, whom he assumes to have perfect vision.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

The Trump phenomenon is in large part a reaction of Middle America to attacks on its values by intellectual and academic communities. There are other reasons, but this is a significant one.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

Blessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching but also without attempting to play God.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

A president has an inescapable responsibility to provide direction: What are we trying to achieve? What are we trying to prevent? Why? To do that, he has to both analyze and reflect.

Diplomacy: the art of restraining power.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

Everybody who has dealt with C...

Everybody who has dealt with China over an extended period of time has come to more or less the same conclusions. There are nuances of differences, but not fundamental differences. I think that President Bush was heading in this direction, and I have no doubt that he will again wind up in this position. But right now he has to be preoccupied with the atrocity committed in New York and Washington.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

I would have said, before the ...

I would have said, before the World Trade Center events, that he would try to get a normal relationship with China - making clear to China what the limits are of what America can accept, but also showing understanding for some of Chinese necessities. I thought he was moving towards the position that I have more or less advocated.
