Samuel P. Huntington
When you mention the word ideology, everyone has communism in the back of their minds, which was an entirely well formulated ideology and statement of belief. You read the Communist Manifesto and you know what the core of it is.
Samuel P. Huntington
Collective will supplants individual whim
Samuel P. Huntington
The relations between countries in the coming decade are most likely to reflect their cultural commitments, their cultural ties and antagonism with other countries.
Samuel P. Huntington

Samuel P. Huntington
Thus, biologically speaking the American people are literally only half an immigrant people.
Samuel P. Huntington
Partial truths or half-truths are often more insidious than total falsehoods.
Samuel P. Huntington
It was one thing to contain the Soviet Union in Europe because Britain, France, and Germany were all willing to join in. But will Japan and other Asian countries be willing to join in the containment of China?
Samuel P. Huntington
I am doubtful that there will be any sort of real coherence of Muslim societies into a single political system run by an elected or non-elected group of leaders.
Samuel P. Huntington
Critics say that America is a lie because its reality falls so far short of its ideals. They are wrong. America is not a lie it is a disappointment. But it can be a disappointment only because it is also a hope.
Samuel P. Huntington
