It is a principle of diplomacy that one must know something of the truth in order to lie convincingly.
Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.
Diplomacy and virtue do not make easy companions.
To err is human, to forgive, divine.
As I said to Speedicut, it's hell in the diplomatic.
One love, one heart, one destiny.
In the end, the work of diplomats continues even while others fight. So,it's not necessarily true that everyone needs to march.
Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.
Diplomacy never works.
The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.
