Open Line

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or line:

“They never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge.”
—Thomas Brackett Reed (1839–1902)

“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)
