I was always convinced that decent people in the case of Vietnam, highly intelligent, decent people, got us involved because they had made, in part, a misjudgment about the nature of the communist system and the unity of the communist world and the degree to which the experience of Europe could be repeated in Vietnam.
Henry A. Kissinger
Oil is much too important a commodity to be left in the hands of the Arabs.
Henry A. Kissinger
The US must carry out some act somewhere in the world which shows its determination to continue to be a world power.
Henry A. Kissinger
The Gorbachev period is conceived as an abandonment of historic Russian positions. So this is the framework, in my view, in which Putin operates.

For the Soul of France is masterful history, brilliantly researched, and hard to put down.
Henry A. Kissinger
High office teaches decision making, not substance. It consumes intellectual capital it does not create it. Most high officials leave office with the perceptions and insights with which they entered they learn how to make decisions but not what decisions to make.
Henry A. Kissinger
