The West won the world not by ...

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion [ ] but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Samuel Huntington 55 quotes

Some Westerners [ ] have argue...

Some Westerners [ ] have argued that the West does not have problems with Islam but only with violent Islamist extremists. Fourteen hundred years of history demonstrate otherwise.

It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.

Well, I think the United States first of all has to recognize the world for what it is.

Samuel Huntington 55 quotes

Expectations should not always...

Expectations should not always be taken as reality; because you never know when you will be disappointed.

Samuel Huntington 55 quotes

Critics say that America is a lie because its reality falls so far short of its ideals. They are wrong. America is not a lie; it is a disappointment. But it can be a disappointment only because it is also a hope.

Samuel Huntington 55 quotes

Islam's borders are bloody and so are its innards. The fundamental problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is Islam, a different civilisation whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power.

Well, I think the United States first of all has to recognize the world for what it is.

Samuel Huntington 55 quotes

Total falsehoods can be easily...

Thus, biologically speaking the American people are literally only half an immigrant people.

Samuel Huntington 55 quotes

They weren't immigrating to some existing society; indeed, they often did whatever they could do to destroy whatever existed here in the way of Indian society.

Samuel Huntington 55 quotes

The West hasn't reached its universal state as yet, although its close to it, but it certainly has evolved out of its warring state phase, which it was in for a couple of centuries.

Samuel Huntington 55 quotes

The other aspect of American identity worth focusing on is the concept of America as a nation of immigrants. That certainly is a partial truth. But it is often assumed to be the total truth.

The great problem there is we have to have the cooperation of those other Asian countries.

Samuel Huntington 55 quotes

The British were white, English, and Protestant, just as we were. They had to have some other basis on which to justify independence, and happily they were able to formulate the inalienable truths set forth in the Declaration.

Partial truths or half-truths are often more insidious than total falsehoods.
