A government that came to power vowing to follow an independent foreign policy has surrendered its independence to the US.

Therefore the future path is of sharp curves and involves many dangers...I urge the government to tread cautiously, and not get caught in difficult conditions without bargaining to the maximum possible position.

Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home.

In the United States today, the Declaration of Independence hangs on schoolroom walls, but foreign policy follows Machiavelli.

No Western government has ever played the long-term in terms of foreign policy.

Foreign policy is an explicitly amoral enterprise.
