Famous quotes containing the words foreign, affairs and/or minister:
“Maybe it’s understandable what a history of failures America’s foreign policy has been. We are, after all, a country full of people who came to America to get away from foreigners.

—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“In France a woman will not go to sleep until she has talked over affairs of state with her lover or her husband.”

“Just let him be minister if that’s what he desires, but without his brother and his brother-in-law.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
