I think there is a substantial difference between hypocrisy and diplomacy: hypocrisy is not saying things, diplomacy is knowing how to say things. |
In the world of diplomacy, some things are better left unsaid. |
Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich that is the democracy of capitalist society. |

Diplomacy is like jazz:endless variations on a theme. |
Like Prince von Bismarck in diplomacy, I have no secrets. |
Once the Xerox copier was invented, diplomacy died. |
