Inis L. Claude Jr. Quotes

Just As No Sane Farmer Would Express Disappointment Because His Cow Did Not Lay Eggs Or Hope That His Cow Might Be Induced To Lay Eggs, An Intelligent Observer Should Be Expected To Refrain From Critical Or Hortatory Discussion Of The Functional Capacity Of The United Nations That Is Uninformed By An Accurate Understanding Of The Realistic Possibilities. We Have No Warrant For Being Hopeful, Disillusioned, Cynical, Or Fearful Of The United Nations, Unless The Expectations That Enter Into Our Judgment Bear Some Sensible Relationship To The Nature Of The Organization And The Limitations Set By The Political Context Within Which It Operates.
