Quote by Henry A. Kissinger

No foreign policy - no matter how ingenious - has any chance of success if it is born in the minds of a few and carried in the hearts of none.

No foreign policy - no matter how ingenious - has any chance

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of inclusivity and widespread support in the formulation and implementation of foreign policy. It suggests that no matter how well-crafted or clever a foreign policy may be, it will ultimately fail if it is conceived by a small group of individuals and lacks the genuine support and belief of the broader population. True success in foreign policy necessitates the engagement, understanding, and emotional investment of the people it affects, as their collective endorsement and commitment are indispensable for its effectiveness and longevity.

Oh, order! Material order, intellectual order, moral order!

Oh, order! Material order, intellectual order, moral order! What a comfort and strength, and what an economy! To know where we are going and what we want; that is order. To keep ones word, to do the right thing, and at the right time: more order. To have everything under ones hand, to put ones whole army through its manoeuvres, to work with all ones resources: still order. To discipline ones habits and efforts and wishes, to organize ones life and distribute ones time, to measure ones duties and assert ones rights, to put ones capital and resources, ones talents and opportunities to profit: again and always order. Order is light, peace, inner freedom, self-determination: it is power. To conceive order, to return to order, to realize order in oneself, around oneself, by means of oneself, this is aesthetic and moral beauty, it is well-being, it is what ought to be.
