Henry A. Kissinger
  • Power is the great aphrodisiac.

  • Leaders must invoke an alchemy of great vision.

  • It was a Greek tragedy. Nixon was fulfilling his own nature. Once it started it could not end otherwise.

  • Most foreign policies that history has marked highly, in whatever country, have been originated by leaders who were opposed by experts.

  • The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.
