Danh ngôn của Martin Jacques
Never underestimate the ability of political leaders to misread history on a monumental scale. The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan have both served to hasten western decline: they have both failed to achieve their objectives and in the process demonstrated an underlying western impotence.

Đừng bao giờ đánh giá thấp khả năng các nhà lãnh đạo chính trị hiểu sai lịch sử ở quy mô lớn. Các cuộc xâm lược Iraq và Afghanistan đều góp phần thúc đẩy sự suy thoái của phương Tây: cả hai đều không đạt được mục tiêu của mình và trong quá trình đó đã chứng tỏ sự bất lực tiềm ẩn của phương Tây.

Các câu danh ngôn khác của cùng tác giả: Martin Jacques
- Now, I know it's a widespread assumption in the West that as countries modernize, they also westernize. This is an illusion. It's an assumption that modernity is a product simply of competition, markets and technology. It is not. It is also shaped equally by history and culture. China is not like the West, and it will not become like the West.
- The world is fortunate - for the time being, at least - that it has an American president in Obama who is prepared to take a conciliatory and concessive attitude towards America's decline and that it has a Chinese leadership which has been extremely cautious about expressing an opinion, let alone flexing its muscles.
- Two European nations emerged with credit from the Iraq disaster: France and Germany. Both had the courage to withstand the Bush administration and oppose the U.S.-led invasion.
- My guess is that good and bad parenting is spread fairly evenly across different social groups. But can you imagine Tony Blair lecturing the middle class on how to bring up their children? He is far more comfortable as a latter-day exponent of the Poor Law mentality.
- In my experience (I am the lone father of an eight-year-old boy who lost his mother when he was one year old), parenting is the most difficult of all jobs: forget your chief executives, editors, prime ministers and the like - parenting is far more challenging.

- All the Indigenous paintings throughout history, they were always a bird's eye view, it's the Indigenous way of storytelling.
- History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.
- The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.
