Well, as a general remark, I would say that I was discouraged by the physical and economic conditions in continental Europe after the war.

I thought that in general we in the United States were too optimistic in believing that the Soviets might alter what had been for a long time, as a matter of fact for centuries, fundamental Russian policies in respect to the rest of the world.

The use of the word "great" is so frequently applied to numbers of Presidents that I myself, having once written a series of, I think, extremely poor essays, I regret to say, on the first sixteen Presidents of the United States, I wouldn't try in my own mind to try to fix the place in history of any President until he had been dead for at least fifty years.

My knowledge of the state of President Roosevelt's health was derived entirely from conversations, from newspaper articles and from photographs.

I'll ride it till the bitter end, and then I'll go back to commuting an hour and 45 minutes from Kingston to Bainbridge Island.

The problem with wind power is you don't know when it's going to come and when it's going to go.

I've heard a great many flattering things about Roosevelt, but never that he was notable for his skill in administration.

The real duties of an ambassador are to enter into or follow negotiations between his own government and that of the country to which he is accredited.

I think, like many others, I realized that only the massive introduction of American support in one form or another, could possibly bring about a rehabilitation of the economies of those countries within a reasonable time.
