History knows no resting places and no plateaus

In his essay, 'Perpetual Peace,' the philosopher, Immanuel Kant, argued that perpetual peace would eventually come to the world in one of two ways, by human insight or by conflicts and catastrophes of a magnitude that left humanity no other choice. We are at such a juncture.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

The superpowers often behave l...

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. Each side should know that frequently uncertainty, compromise, and incoherence are the essence of policymaking. Yet each tends to ascribe to the other a consistency, foresight, and coherence that its own experience belies. Of course, over time, even two armed blind men can do enormous damage to each other, not to speak of the room.

The US must carry out some act somewhere in the world which shows its determination to continue to be a world power.

Why should we flagellate ourselves for what the Cambodians did to each other?

Covert action should not be confused with missionary work.

What we in America call terrorists are really groups of people that reject the international system

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

It is an act of insanity and national humiliation to have a law prohibiting the President from ordering assassination.

I can think of no faster way to unite the American people behind George W. Bush than a terrorist attack on an American target overseas. And I believe George W. Bush will quickly unite the American people through his foreign policy.

In 10 years, there will be no more Israel.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

My country's history, Mr. Pres...

My country's history, Mr. President, tells us that it is possible to fashion unity while cherishing diversity, that common action is possible despite the variety of races, interests, and beliefs we see here in this chamber. Progress and peace and justice are attainable. So we say to all peoples and governments: Let us fashion together a new world order.

Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.

The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy. And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

Every civilization that has ev...

Every civilization that has ever existed has ultimately collapsed. History is a tale of efforts that failed, or aspirations that weren't realized . So, as a historian, one has to live with a sense of the inevitability of tragedy.

To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

Withdrawal of US troops will become like salted peanuts to the American public: The more US troops come home, the more will be demanded.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

The China of the 1970s was a communist dictatorship. The China of the twenty-first century is a one-party state without a firm ideological foundation, more similar to Mexico under the PRI than Russia under Stalin. But the measurement of the political and the economic evolution has not yet been completed, and is one of the weak points of the system.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

Certainly not a party of the workers and the peasants. In fact, Jiang Zemin in recent weeks has officially said that capitalists and the entrepreneurs should be enrolled in the Communist Party.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

I don't consider China a communist state, no. I know that sounds paradoxical, but it's my view.

Henry Kissinger 366 quotes

The defining issue is that the government in Taiwan was considered to be the government of all of China, and the authorities in Beijing were not recognized as a government of China. So Taiwan was the residuary for all of China.
