J William Fulbright quotes
" As a conservative power, the United States has a vital interest in upholding and expanding the reign of law in international relations. "

J William Fulbright
" I do not question the power of our weapons and the efficiency of our logistics; I cannot say these things delight me as the y seem to delight some of our officials, but they are certainly impressive. "

J William Fulbright
" I'm sure that President Johnson would never have pursued the war in Vietnam if he'd ever had a Fulbright to Japan, or say Bangkok, or had any feeling for what these people are like and why they acted the way they did. He was completely ignorant. "

J William Fulbright
" In a democracy, dissent is an act of faith. "

J William Fulbright

J William Fulbright
" In the long course of history, having people who understand your thought is much greater security than another submarine. "

J William Fulbright
" In the name of noble purposes men have committed unspeakable acts of cruelty against one another. "

J William Fulbright
" Insofar as international law is observed, it provides us with stability and order and with a means of predicting the behavior of those with whom we have reciprocal legal obligations. "

J William Fulbright
" It's the one activity that gives me some hope that the human race won't commit suicide, though I still wouldn't count on it. "

J William Fulbright

J William Fulbright
" Once imbued with the idea of a mission, a great nation easily assumes that it has the means as well as the duty to do God's work. "

J William Fulbright
" Power confuses itself with virtue and tends also to take itself for omnipotence. "

J William Fulbright
" Power tends to confuse itself with virtue and a great nation is particularly susceptible to the idea that its power is a sign of God's favor, conferring upon it a special responsibility for other nations - to make them richer and happier and wiser, to remake them, that is, in its own shining image. "

J William Fulbright
" The biggest lesson I learned from Vietnam is not to trust our own government statements. I had no idea until then that you could not rely on them. "

J William Fulbright
" The cause of our difficulties in southeast Asia is not a deficiency of power but an excess of the wrong kind of power which results in a feeling of impotence when it fails to achieve its desired ends. "
