- Diplomacy is to do and say
- The nastiest thing in the nicest way.
ISAAC GOLDBERG, The Reflex
All diplomacy is a continuation of war by other means.
ZHOU ENLAI, Saturday Evening Post, Mar. 27, 1954
All war represents a failure of diplomacy.
TONY BENN, speech, Feb. 28, 1991
An ambassador is an honest man sent to lie abroad for the good of his country.
SIR HENRY WOTTON, inscribed on the album of Christopher Fleckmore, 1604

JOHN KENNETH GALBRAITH, "The American Ambassador," Foreign Service Journal, June 1969
