Samuel P Huntington quotes
" A partial truth, on the other hand, is plausible, because there is evidence to support it. And hence, it is easy to assume that it is the total truth. "

Samuel P Huntington
" Also, of course, for most of this time most Americans thought of America as a white country with, at best, only a very segregated and subordinate role for blacks. "

Samuel P Huntington
" And Asian societies and Muslim societies are increasingly resentful of our efforts to induce them to adopt our values. "

Samuel P Huntington
" And so I think American foreign policy clearly has to focus on the intercivilizational conflicts that will challenge us, and we also have to keep our guard up and I think try to reinvigorize relations with our European allies, which I think this administration has rather neglected. "

Samuel P Huntington
" And so in terms of territorial control, in terms of economic preeminence, the western share of the gross world product is declining as Asian societies in particular develop economically. "

Samuel P Huntington
" And the big question for the West, of course, and to the Europeans is, what other countries, which were formerly part of the Soviet bloc, should be incorporated into western institutions? "

Samuel P Huntington
" Back then that was pretty clear, and there were great pressures, and a certain amount of coercion, to ensure that immigrants did assimilate to the Anglo-Protestant culture, work ethnic, and the principles of the American Creed. "

Samuel P Huntington
" Before that we had thought of ourselves in large part as being defined religiously: 98 percent of Americans were Protestant. "

Samuel P Huntington
" But then I came to the conclusion that no, while there may be an immigration problem, it isn't really a serious problem. The really serious problem is assimilation. "

Samuel P Huntington
" But we have to recognize the limits on our power and the fact that our ability to bring about changes in other societies is, is declining. "

Samuel P Huntington
" Civilizations evolve over time, and most scholars of civilization, including people like Carol Quigley, argue that they go through periods of warring states, and eventually evolve into a universal state. "

Samuel P Huntington
" Finally, in my critique of the immigration image of America, it is also important to know that we're not only a nation of immigrants, but we are in some part a nation of emigrants, which often gets neglected. "

Samuel P Huntington
" First of all, we haven't always welcomed immigrants. "

Samuel P Huntington
" For much of our history we defined ourselves in racial, religious, ethnic, and cultural terms, as well as in propositional or creedal terms. "

Samuel P Huntington
" From 1882 until the 1950s, a whole series of legislation excluded immigrants from Asia from coming to our society. "
