State Department Quotes

I was talking to a friend about Santorum. He said, ‘For all my years in the State Department, I know one thing. Terrorists, what they fear most is a guy in a sweater vest.’ Picture Quote #1

The question is how does Hilary Clinton fit in this broader network? She’s a centralising cog. You’ve got a lot of different gears in operation from the big banks like Goldman Sachs and major elements of Wall Street, and Intelligence and people in the State Department and the Saudis Picture Quote #1

I first met Kim Dae Jung when he was a Korean dissident whose life was threatened by the military regime ruling in Seoul. I was Ronald Reagan’s Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights, and Kim was directed to me because the East Asia Bureau at the State Department had long shunned him Picture Quote #1

To me the Nobel Peace laureates should not be hosted by a State Department that is continuing with war, removing basic civil liberties and human rights and international law and then talking about peace to young people. That’s a double standard Picture Quote #1

She [Hillary Clinton] put her emails on a secret server to cover up her pay-for-play scandals in the State Department. Nothing threatens the integrity of our democracy more than when government officials put their public office up for sale Picture Quote #1

When my son was a mere three months old, I started working at the State Department. I was not only the youngest Assistant Secretary of State but I was also a breastfeeding mother. I’m the first to admit that this felt crazy at times, and the balancing act is never ever easy. But my two kids are the most wonderful things that have ever happened to me Picture Quote #1

Let me be clear: I’m a believer in a robust military, which is essential for backing up diplomacy. But the implication is that we need a balanced tool chest of diplomatic and military tools alike. Instead, we have a billionaire military and a pauper diplomacy. The U.S. military now has more people in its marching bands than the State Department has in its foreign service - and that’s preposterous Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of things to learn, starting with you’d better caution people just as the State Department cautioned people, especially those of Chinese descent, before they decide to engage in academic research in China Picture Quote #1

State Department lawyers need to have the evidence to back up the charge before they make it. Here’s Nebraska Republican Jeff Fortenberry questioning Assistant Secretary of State Anne Patterson at a House Picture Quote #1

Holocaust Museum said ISIS has carried out genocide against the Yazidis, but its investigation did not cover Christian persecution. Now there’s concern the U.S. State Department might do the same, limiting any genocide pronouncement to Yazidis without mentioning Christians Picture Quote #1

Also, as a result of the involvement of American foundations that have backing from the U.S. State Department in Iranian internal politics, cultural exchange and dialogue have become more and more problematic Picture Quote #1

I suspect people channel-surf, as they tend to everywhere. But I’m told that we’re not much on at the State Department, so we’ll have to look into that Picture Quote #1

Oh, the naive Obama State Department. They say we can’t kill our way out of war. Really? Tell that to the Nazis. Oh wait, you can’t. They’re dead. We killed ‘em Picture Quote #1

California, the department-store state. The most of everything and the best of nothing Picture Quote #1

There’s a reason that students don’t grade their own papers. There’s a reason defendants don’t sentence themselves. And there’s the reason the State Department doesn’t get to investigate itself, determine whether or not it made errors in Benghazi. That is Congress’s job Picture Quote #1

The Department of Peace would take a more human approach to healing our society, looking not merely for ways we can destroy an enemy, but for more powerful ways to create new friends. While the State Department engages in international diplomacy, there is no domestic parallel. There is no department seeking to harness the power of a nonviolent heart Picture Quote #1

An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department Picture Quote #1

Every dollar that we send in State Department aid or humanitarian aid that saves us from having to get involved with very expensive military actions is a good investment. And frankly, helping Israel fight terrorism in the Middle East is much cheaper than us fighting it here on our shores Picture Quote #1

My teaching began in 1936 at Iowa State College where T. W. Schultz was the department chairman Picture Quote #1

Syria is a terrorist state by any definition and is so classified by the State Department. I happen to think Iran is too. Iraq, Iran, Syria, they’re all involved Picture Quote #1

The State Department desperately needs to be vigorously harnessed. It has too big a role to play in the formulation of foreign policy, and foreign policy is too important to be left up to foreign service officers Picture Quote #1

I will not comment on or confirm what are alleged to be stolen State Department cables. But I can say that the United States deeply regrets the disclosure of any information that was intended to be confidential, including private discussions between counterparts or our diplomats’ personal assessments and observations Picture Quote #1

Could I say that the reason that I am here today, you know, from the mouth of the State Department itself, is: I should not be allowed to travel because I have struggled for years for the independence of the colonial peoples of Africa Picture Quote #1

Hillary Clinton turned the State Department into her private hedge fund. The Russians, the Saudis, the Chinese - all gave money to Bill And Hillary and got favourable treatment in return Picture Quote #1

I took the unprecedented step of asking that the State Department make all my work-related emails public for everyone to see Picture Quote #1

It is not for the State Department or even the Secretary of State to say when and how the resources of the American people will be spent Picture Quote #1

I have made more friends for American culture than the State Department. Certainly I have made fewer enemies, but that isn’t very difficult Picture Quote #1

Our own State Department polls say that 80 percent of Iraqis view the United States as an unpopular occupier Picture Quote #1
