» Gloria Estefan - all quotes »
But now that war has become seemingly total and seemingly permanent, the free sport of kings has become the forced and internecine business of people, and diplomatic codes of honor between nations have collapsed. Peace is no longer serious; only war is serious. Every man and every nation is either friend or foe, and the idea of enmity becomes mechanical, massive, and without genuine passion. When virtually all negotiation aimed at peaceful agreement is likely to be seen as 'appeasement,' if not treason, the active role of the diplomat becomes meaningless; for diplomacy becomes merely a prelude to war or an interlude between wars, and in such a context the diplomat is replaced by the warlord......In other words 'the morale of the State Department is so broken that its finest men flee from it, and advise others to flee.'
C. Wright Mills
I'd like to think that the best bunker buster is a diplomat.
Scott Ritter
A sincere diplomat is like dry water or wooden iron.
Joseph Stalin
He was, after all, a diplomat, and understood that the best and firmest deals are based on open self-interest.
David Brin
A diplomat's life is made up of three ingredients: protocol, Geritol and alcohol.
