his definition of "Statesmanship"

"Profit from your reading of otherwise dull articles on the subject of foreign policy by recognizing the phrase "national interest" as a synonym of "self-interest." Apply the same set of recommended actions to your own affairs, and you will find no crime that cannot be justified, no friedn who cannot be de-accessioned, no debt that cannot be repudiated, no moral obstacle that cannot be removed form the highway of ambition"
