The United States is contributing massively to the defence of Europe and we should be very grateful.

Being powerful is a lot like being a woman: If you have to tell someone that you are, invariably, you are not.

There are always dangers about. Therefore you must always keep your defences strong.

You don't tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive.

When you hold back the successful, you penalize those who need help.

Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.

Whether at home or abroad, the task of statesman is to work with human nature warts and all, and to draw on instincts and even prejudices that can be turned to good purpose. It is never to try to recreate Mankind in a new image.
