Secret Containment Policy

Famous quotes containing the words secret and/or policy:

    Life! I know not what thou art,
    But know that thou and I must part;
    And when, or how, or where we met
    I own to me’s a secret yet.
    Anna Letitia (Aikin)

    While I am in favor of the Government promptly enforcing the laws for the present, defending the forts and collecting the revenue, I am not in favor of a war policy with a view to the conquest of any of the slave States; except such as are needed to give us a good boundary. If Maryland attempts to go off, suppress her in order to save the Potomac and the District of Columbia. Cut a piece off of western Virginia and keep Missouri and all the Territories.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
