War by Other Means GEOECONOMICS AND STATECRAFT
Robert D. Blackwill and Jennifer M. Harris
To compound matters, as economic techniques of statecraft have become a lost art in the United States, the rest of the world has moved in the opposite direction. Rus sia, China, and others now routinely look to geoeconomic means, often as a fi rst resort, and often to undermine American power and infl uence. In ignoring the ever- greater role of geoeconomics in the international system, the United States squanders opportunities and dilutes its own foreign policy outcomes. It weakens the confi dence of Ameri ca’s Asian and European allies. It encourages China to coerce its neighbors and lessens their ability to resist. It gives China free rein in vulnerable African and Latin American nations. It allows Rus sia to bend much of the former Soviet space to its will without serious answer from the United States

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
I would never read a book if it were possible for me to talk half an hour with the man who wrote it.
There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.
Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.
I love money. I love everything about it. I bought some pretty good stuff. Got me a $300 pair of socks. Got a fur sink. An electric dog polisher. A gasoline powered turtleneck sweater. And, of course, I bought some dumb stuff, too.
Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.
Men do not understand books until they have a certain amount of life, or at any rate no man understands a deep book, until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.
