It's not appeasement to talk to your enemies.

Sometimes you move publicly, sometimes privately. Sometimes quietly, sometimes at the top of your voice.

If you're not gonna pull the trigger, don't point the gun.

You don't need to know who's playing on the White House tennis court to be a good president

Who could not be moved by the sight of that poor, demoralized rabble, outwitted, outflanked, outmanoeuvered by the U.S. military? Yet, given time, I think the press will bounce back.

Sometimes an active policy is best advanced by doing nothing until the right time - or never.

Never let the other fellow set the agenda.
