Joseph R. McCarthy The most important aspect of the relationship between the president and the secretary of state is that they both understand who is president. Dean Acheson There's no such thing as the United Nations. If the U.N. secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference. John Bolton When things haven't gone well for you, call in a secretary or a staff man and chew him out. You will sleep better and they will appreciate the attention. Lyndon B. Johnson No woman in my time will be Prime Minister or Chancellor or Foreign Secretary, not the top jobs. Anyway I wouldn't want to be Prime Minister. You have to give yourself 100%. Margaret Thatcher |
