Zitat des Tages über Diplomaten / Diplomats:

How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print. Karl Kraus

I met senators, diplomats and the President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Jean Craighead George

Diplomats were invented simply to waste time.

David Lloyd George

Modern diplomats approach every problem with an open mouth.

Arthur Goldberg

They tend to be civil servants, often diplomats drawn from the Foreign Office, who may be very pleasant, intelligent people, but once they get inside the Palace they're riveted to the status quo and they lose track of public opinion in the real world.

Anthony Holden

Let's make a deal with the Serbs. Neither history nor emotion in the Balkans will permit multinationalism. We have to give up on the illusion of the last eight years... Dayton isn't working. Nobody - except diplomats and petty officials - believes in a sovereign Bosnia and the Dayton accords.

Franjo Tudjman

Even we schoolchildren know that ordinary diplomats don't drive around in unmarked cars carrying Glock pistols.

Malala Yousafzai

We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.

My biggest, you know, regret is what happened in Benghazi. It was a terrible tragedy losing four Americans - two diplomats and, now it's public so I can say, two CIA operatives.

Hillary Clinton

I went off to a school with the children of CEOs and diplomats. To be able to be at home with that group of people and at home with the desperately poor has been good for me in preparation for my coming to Washington.

James Green Somerville

Diplomats make it their business to conceal the facts, and politicians violently denounce the politicians of other countries.

Margaret Sanger

For even the most seasoned diplomats and foreign policymakers, the Israel-Palestinian conflict is a pressure cooker assignment that can cause angst of an existential nature.

Gillian Turner

I will not comment on or confirm what are alleged to be stolen State Department cables. But I can say that the United States deeply regrets the disclosure of any information that was intended to be confidential, including private discussions between counterparts or our diplomats' personal assessments and observations.

Hillary Clinton

Most other documents leaked to WikiLeaks do not carry the same explosive potential as candid cables written by American diplomats.

Evgeny Morozov

I've traveled with Jack Murtha to Iraq three times to learn more about the region, talk with our diplomats and military leaders, and meet with our troops. Those visits are the main reason that I opposed the War in Iraq since its inception.

John B. Larson

I'm convinced there's a small room in the attic of the Foreign Office where future diplomats are taught to stammer.

Peter Ustinov

It is easy to overlook the importance of the young in underdeveloped countries. It is the natural course for nations, and diplomats, and those who publish newspapers, to speak to the established order. Seeking out the young requires a conscious effort.

Robert Kennedy

It's a necessary quality of a diplomat or a politician that he will compromise. Uncompromising politicians or diplomats get you into the most terrible trouble.

John Keegan

Diplomats are useful only in fair weather. As soon as it rains they drown in every drop.

Charles de Gaulle

In a chaotic world, U.S. diplomats will probably have even less contact with the people they need to reach.

David Ignatius

Journalists are in the same madly rocking boat as diplomats and statesmen. Like them, when the Cold War ended, they looked for a new world order and found a new world disorder. If making and conducting foreign policy in today's turbulent environment is difficult, so is practicing journalism.

Henry Grunwald

The military can buy our diplomats some time.

Jim Mattis

How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.

Karl Kraus

People also don't care about the daily comings and goings of diplomats and yet we must report it.

Roone Arledge

It is fortunate that diplomats have long noses since they usually cannot see beyond them.

Paul Claudel

I have spent time discussing the American political system and current events in Taiwan with the junior diplomats, and they have repeatedly expressed their country's desire to avoid confrontation with China.

Mike Simpson

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.

Will Rogers

Hitler was such an anomalous character - he was so over-the-top chaotic in his approach to statesmanship, his manner and in the violence which overwhelmed the country initially. I think diplomats around the world... felt like something like that simply would not be tolerated by the people of Germany.

Erik Larson

Army: A body of men assembled to rectify the mistakes of the diplomats.

Josephus Daniels

It's interesting that there are only two groups of people in our country who are not held accountable for their behavior or decisions. One is exempted by the constitution, and that is foreign diplomats. The other, through a loophole, is HMOs.

Debbie Stabenow

The big risk to British lives in 2013 is in Afghanistan. Our troops, diplomats and aid workers have made a big contribution there. But while there is an end date for Western engagement, 2014, there isn't a proper end game.

David Miliband

I have so much respect for policy makers and diplomats, but I could never be a politician because of the way they dress!

Azita Ghanizada

I wanted to be a man who travelled the world to make peace. I didn't realise that most diplomats are megaphones for their governments.

Stellan Skarsgard
