Diplomacy means the art of nearly deceiving all your friends, but not quite deceiving all your enemies.
Kofi Abrefa Busia
Image
I have a friend, physically magnificent, who combines within himself the intellect of a philosopher, the diplomacy of a statesman, the executive ability of the general of an army, the courtesy of a Chesterfield - and the emotions of a rabbit.
Myrtle Reed
Image
Diplomacy never stops, and, with or without an election, it never stops.
Colin Powell
Image
Force is not inevitable. Diplomacy is still the desired means. Pressure is an element of the means.
Dennis A. Ross
Image
I think it's fair to say that diplomacy today requires much more of that if you're the United States of America than it did 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago.
Hillary Clinton
Image
I suspect millions of people from my generation probably have comparable stories to tell: if not of sports simulations then of Dungeons & Dragons, or the geopolitical strategy of games like Diplomacy, a kind of chess superimposed onto actual history.
Steven Johnson
Image
War is tragedy. The great war stories are tragedies. It's the failure of diplomacy. 'War and Peace,' 'A Farewell to Arms,' 'For Whom the Bell Tolls.' Those are some of the greatest tragedies.
David Mamet

The only summit meeting that can succeed is one that does not take place.
Barry Goldwater
Image
A child is a child in any country, whatever the politics. Let's get down to basics. That's what a child forces you to do. Nothing else much matters, there is no complicated diplomacy, when a child is starving. It's simple. And we'd better do something about it. For our sakes, too. That is, if we want to continue to call ourselves human.
Audrey Hepburn
Image
I think if I had to do it over again, I'd do it the same way. I would just put more resources into getting the public diplomacy part much stronger than we were able to.
John Poindexter
Image
Sanctions alone could not stop Iran's nuclear program. But they did help bring Iran to the negotiating table.
Barack Obama
Image
Sometimes arrogance makes us overreach. George Bush Jr. often tries to suggest the leaders of other countries, and it is just not good diplomacy.
Jesse Jackson
Image
Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock.
Will Rogers
Image
Unilateralism is not internationalism, It is nationalist egotism gone mad.
Hugh Dalton
Image
You're in America now, I said. Our idea of diplomacy is showing up with a gun in one hand and a sandwich in the other and asking which you'd prefer.
Jim Butcher
Image
We should not anticipate that every time countries come together that we are doing some revolutionary thing. Instead of hitting home runs, sometimes we're going to hit singles.
Barack Obama
Image
The safety of the republic being the supreme law, and Texas having offered us the key to the safety of our country from all foreign intrigues and diplomacy, I say accept the key and bolt the door at once.
Andrew Jackson
Image
A constructive approach to diplomacy doesnt mean relinquishing ones rights. It means engaging with ones counterparts, on the basis of equal footing and mutual respect, to address shared concerns and achieve shared objectives.
Hassan Rouhani
Image
Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
John Bolton
Image
This campaign of non-cooperation has no reference to diplomacy, secret or open. The only diplomacy it admits of is the statement and pursuance of truth at any cost.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I'm always diplomatic when heavily outnumbered by armed strangers.
S.M. Stirling
Image
It is better to inconsistently save some lives than to consistently save none.
Nicholas D. Kristof
Image
A real diplomat is one who can cut his neighbor's throat without having his neighbor notice it.
Trygve Lie
Image
I would love to see no more ghettos but the things is, there's no diplomacy in the ghetto. They want to tell you something, they tell you straight!
