“A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.”
Ken Ndaru
“A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.”
Robert Frost
“The only real diplomacy ever performed by a diplomat is in deceiving their own people after their dumbness has got them into a war.”
Will Rogers
“Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it... You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.”
“To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist -- the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one's vinegar.”
Oscar Wilde
“I have no patience for those who lack diplomacy or reason. Nothing angers me more than an ignorant dullard, with little use but a stupid tongue. Find yourself in my presence with these awful traits, and you will be wishing; you had never met me.”
Enrique Vega
“The diplomat in question no longer enjoys the privileges and immunities conferred by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. He has been expelled from the United States for not voluntarily departing by the appointed time. We do not have any further comments on the case.”
James Rubin
