George P. Schultz on safe fi****ms handling and international diplomacy.

“…I learned a lot at boot camp and in active duty as a Marine. I remember as though it were yesterday: My drill sergeant hands me my rifle. He says to me, ‘Take good care of this rifle. This is your best friend. And remember one thing: never point this rifle at anybody unless you’re willing to pull the trigger. No empty threats.’ Boot camp wisdom . . . the more people realize that you’re willing to pull the trigger, the less likely you are to have to do it.”
▪️
George P. Schultz on the value of trust in interpersonal and international relationships.
▪️
"President Reagan knew that I would tell him what I thought, and he also knew that I knew it was his foreign policy, not mine. So we had good conversations, but underneath it all was trust."
