"We shall listen, not lecture; learn, not threaten.……" — Theodore C. Sorensen
"We shall listen, not lecture; learn, not threaten. We will enhance our safety by earning the respect of others and showing respect for them. In short, our foreign policy will rest on the traditional American values of restraint and empathy, not on military might."
