Henry A. Kissinger
  • A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

  • People are generally amazed that I would take an interest in any form that would require me to stop talking for three hours.

  • Art is man's expression of his joy in labor.

  • Diplomacy: the art of restraining power.

  • A leader who confines his role to his people's experience dooms himself to stagnation a leader who outstrips his people's experience runs the risk of not being understood.
