Henry A. Kissinger
At any rate, mutually assured destruction was never our policy.

Henry A. Kissinger
Intelligence is not all that important in the exercise of power, and is often, in point of fact, useless.
Henry A. Kissinger
Let us fashion together a new world order.
Henry A. Kissinger
If you control the food, you control a nation. If you control the energy, you control a region. If you control the money, you control the world.
Henry A. Kissinger
