Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or relations:

    We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.
    —A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)

    Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
