My country’s history, Mr. President, tells us that it is possible to fashion unity while cherishing diversity, that common action is possible despite the variety of races, interests, and beliefs we see here in this chamber. Progress and peace and justice are attainable. So we say to all peoples and governments: Let us fashion together a new world order (Henry A Kissinger Quotes)
One theory is that we will make war look so attractive that we undermine the deterrent. That’s Never Never Land. What we have now would have been enough to deter Hitler. But we are talking in a different order of reality (Henry A Kissinger Quotes)

In the current [Carter] administration, who can use the White House swimming pool and tennis courts is decided at the very highest level.

The American formal position has been that we oppose violence by governments against their people. That principle should not be abandoned (Henry A Kissinger Quotes)
American politics are normally a result of pragmatic and not philosophical reasoning. No one in Washington has said we now prefer multilateralism (Henry A Kissinger Quotes)

So then we developed a framework which should have been acceptable as a concept to the Chinese, namely to express regret for the loss of life and maintain our position that we had a right to fly these missions. (Henry A Kissinger Quotes)
The art of good foreign policy is to understand and to take into consideration the values of a society, to realize them at the outer limit of the possible. (Henry A Kissinger Quotes)
