In the evolving world order, the comparative advantage of the United States lies in military force, in which it ranks supreme.  Diplomacy and international law have always been regarded as an annoying encumbrance, unless they can be used to advantage against an enemy ... but when the veil is lifted, we commonly see that diplomacy is understood as a disguise for the rule of force.  Noam Chomsky, Deterring Democracy

A diplomat ... is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you actually look forward to the trip.  Caskie Stinnett, Out of the Red, 1960

 

 

A constructive approach to diplomacy doesn’t mean relinquishing one’s 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

 

 

Diplomacy: the art of restraining power.  Henry Kissinger

 

 

Diplomacy, n. is the art of letting somebody else have your way.  David Frost

How is the world ruled and how do wars start?  Diplomats tell lies to journalists and then believe what they read.  Karl Kraus, Aphorisms and More Aphorisms, 1909

 

 

Knowing what to sweep under the carpet is the art of diplomacy, wouldn’t you say?  Cambridge Spies I II III IV, BBC 2003, British spy chief to Angleton
