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

    “We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
    —A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)

    “Where the heart is, there the muses, there the gods sojourn, and not in any geography of fame. Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay, you think paltry places, and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are; and, if we tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. See to it, only, that thyself is here;—and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels, and the Supreme Being, shall not absent from the chamber where thou sittest.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal.”
    —Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)

    “Extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
