“Foreign policy commands attention when it's crisis management. A street revolt breaks out in Egypt or Libya or Kiev and everyone asks, how should the president respond? Now these are important parts of America's role in the world, but they are essentially reactive and tactical. The broader challenge is to lay down a longer-term strategy that endures after the crisis of the moment.” WorldShouldImportantMomentsAmericaAsksPresidentTermChallengesAttentionRolesBreakStreetsPolicyManagementCrisisStrategyLaysEndureCommandForeign PolicyEgyptRevoltBreak OutLibyaTacticalCrisis ManagementKiev Author:Fareed Zakaria
“Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly, and left to die?

“We in US need active intelligence: people being on the streets, people being able to stop and ask questions of individuals that they suspect to put it together.

“Ask yourself whether our language is complete--whether it was so before the symbolism of chemistry and the notation of the infinitesimal calculus were incorporated in it; for these are, so to speak, suburbs of our language. (And how many houses or streets does it take before a town begins to be a town?) Our language can be seen as an ancient city: a maze of little streets and squares, of old and new houses, and of houses with additions from various periods; and this surrounded by a multitude of new boroughs with straight regular streets and uniform houses.” LittlesDoeAsksHouseSpeakLanguageCitiesStreetsPeriodsTownsAncientVariousChemistrySquaresUniformsMultitudesSuburbsSymbolismMazesCalculusOld And New Author:Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Ask any school-boy up to the age of fifteen where he would spend his holidays. Not one in five hundred will say, "In the streets of London," if you give him the option of green fields and running waters. It is, then, a fair presumption that there must be something of the child still in the character of the men or the women whom the country charms in maturer as in dawning life.” IfsMenGivingChildrenStillsCountryCharacterRunningAgeSchoolAsksWaterBoysFiveStreetsFieldsHe ManHundredFairsGreenLondonCharmHolidayFifteenPresumptionRunning WaterGreen Fields Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
“It is also painful to see that the struggle against hunger and malnutrition is hindered by market priorities, the primacy of profit, which have reduced foodstuffs to a commodity like any other, subject to speculation, also of a financial nature, The hungry remain, at the street corner, and ask to be recognized as citizens, to receive a healthy diet. We ask for dignity, not for charity.” AsksNatureStruggleStreetsSubjectsCitizensHealthyDignityCharityFinancialHungerProfitPainfulCornersPrioritiesHungryDietsCommoditySpeculationMalnutritionStreet CornersHealthy DietPrimacy Author:Pope Francis
“I say things that can be defined as prayers. But I don't pray to a power or ask an entity to intercede in the earthly scheme, because I don't believe that happens.
