Foreign Policy Decisions

Famous quotes containing the words foreign policy, foreign, policy and/or decisions:

    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)

    So the gentle poet’s name
    To foreign parts is blown by fame;
    Seek him in his native town,
    He is hidden and unknown.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless of course you are an exceptionally good liar.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)

    Every man finds a sanction for his simplest claims and deeds, in decisions of his own mind, which he calls Truth and Holiness.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
