Ron Paul Throughout the 20th century, the Republican Party benefited from a non-interventionist foreign policy. Think of how Eisenhower came in to stop the Korean War. Think of how Nixon was elected to stop the mess in Vietnam. Ron Paul Our purpose in Vietnam is to prevent the success of aggression. It is not conquest, it is not empire, it is not foreign bases, it is not domination. It is, simply put, just to prevent the forceful conquest of South Vietnam by North Vietnam. Lyndon B. Johnson I don't believe I'll ever get credit for anything I do in foreign affairs, no matter how successful it is, because I didn't go to Harvard. Lyndon B. Johnson The safety of the republic being the supreme law, and Texas having offered us the key to the safety of our country from all foreign intrigues and diplomacy, I say accept the key... and bolt the door at once. Andrew Jackson The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land. Gilbert K. Chesterton What affects men sharply about a foreign nation is not so much finding or not finding familiar things; it is rather not finding them in the familiar place. Gilbert K. Chesterton All of life is a foreign country. Jack Kerouac Foreign policy is really domestic policy with its hat on. Hubert H. Humphrey Everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends. Lucius Annaeus Seneca The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall. Marcus Tullius Cicero For my name and memory I leave to men's charitable speeches, and to foreign nations and the next ages. Francis Bacon Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers? Victor Hugo Human rights is the soul of our foreign policy, because human rights is the very soul of our sense of nationhood. Jimmy Carter Since every effort in our educational life seems to be directed toward making of the child a being foreign to itself, it must of necessity produce individuals foreign to one another, and in everlasting antagonism with each other. Emma Goldman The very phrase 'foreign affairs' makes an Englishman convinced that I am about to treat of subjects with which he has no concern. Benjamin Disraeli In the United States today, the Declaration of Independence hangs on schoolroom walls, but foreign policy follows Machiavelli. Howard Zinn There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign. Robert Louis Stevenson We must have a foreign policy which is based only on the long-term interests of our race, not on the interest of other races or on economic considerations or anything else. George Lincoln Rockwell Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported? Abdul Kalam |
