Trying to negotiate getting a couple of kids to watch the same TV show requires serious diplomacy.
Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.
Diplomacy in general does not resolve conflicts. Wars end not due to peace processes, but due to one side giving up.
For diplomacy to be effective, words must be credible ,and no one can now doubt the word of America.
Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock.
With arms outstretched I thank. With heart beating gratefully I love. With body in health I jump for joy. With spirit full I live.
In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.
Thanks are justly due for boons unbought.
Fearing to lose what you have is not the same as appreciation. You have to take a step beyond that.
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.
