Diplomatie / Diplomacy Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Diplomatie / Diplomacy:

My career was always about working with people, and understanding issues and problems and helping them to solve those issues and problems. How you deal with people - that's what diplomacy is all about. So while I'm not a career diplomat, many of the skills I had seemed to directly translate into the diplomatic arena. John Roos

To say nothing, especially when speaking, is half the art of diplomacy.

Will Durant

Diplomacy, n. is the art of letting somebody else have your way.

David Frost

Tact and diplomacy are fine in international relations, in politics, perhaps even in business; in science only one thing matters, and that is the facts.

Hans Eysenck

Certainly the international community is putting a lot of pressure on Iran and making clear that its nuclear program must stop. If it stops with the sanctions, the combinations of sanctions, diplomacy, other pressures, I, as the prime minister of Israel, will be the happiest person in the world.

Benjamin Netanyahu

There is no diplomacy like candor.

E. V. Lucas

I am endlessly fascinated that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership, but raising children isn't. Hey, it made me a better leader: you have to take a lot of people's needs into account; you have to look down the road. Trying to negotiate getting a couple of kids to watch the same TV show requires serious diplomacy.

Dee Dee Myers

Force is not inevitable. Diplomacy is still the desired means. Pressure is an element of the means.

Dennis Ross

I think if I had to do it over again, I'd do it the same way. I would just put more resources into getting the public diplomacy part much stronger than we were able to.

John Poindexter

America must continue diplomacy, even as we continue the war, to expand the coalition of the willing to share the burden of war and to share the responsibility and the economic cost of rebuilding Iraq.

Barbara Mikulski

Nobody's ever said that pins are a tool of diplomacy.

Madeleine Albright

Humanitarian missions are little different from any other public enterprise, diplomacy included, which is susceptible of misinterpretation by the public, hence ultimately of failure.

Alvin Adams

All war represents a failure of diplomacy.

Tony Benn

Diplomacy is not an end in itself if it does not advance U.S. interests.

John Bolton

I suspect millions of people from my generation probably have comparable stories to tell: if not of sports simulations then of Dungeons & Dragons, or the geopolitical strategy of games like Diplomacy, a kind of chess superimposed onto actual history.

Steven Johnson

Like Prince von Bismarck in diplomacy, I have no secrets.

Albert J. Nock

To be clear, I abhor the separation wall. It is an eyesore in itself and makes tangible the failed diplomacy and cruel short-sightedness that causes such misery in the region. No Palestinian can see that wall and not wonder if the Israelis mean it to stay there forever, a constant reminder of what they never intend to change.

Howard Jacobson

Once the Xerox copier was invented, diplomacy died.

Andrew Young

Trying to negotiate getting a couple of kids to watch the same TV show requires serious diplomacy.

Dee Dee Myers

Preemption is the right of any nation in order to preserve its National Security; however, preemptive war is a tactic, not a strategy. When used as a strategy preemption dilutes diplomacy, creates an atmosphere of distrust, and promotes regional instability.

Ellen Tauscher

Take the diplomacy out of war and the thing would fall flat in a week.

Will Rogers

As a member of Congress, I'm often reminded that in baseball, as in diplomacy, you have to know when to hit, when to run, and when to show grace.

Linda Sanchez

Diplomacy is fundamentally working with people, bringing people together to deal with difficult issues.

John Roos

We must continue to pursue peace through diplomacy, but we must also not shrink from our responsibility through the option of strength. We must take advantage of internal resistance and change from within Iran to avert this path of mutual destruction.

Michael McCaul

In an ideological age, diplomacy may seem weak and prosaic. But sometimes it is all we have.

Noah Feldman

We think it will be shortly afterwards, but it seems a terrible thing to gamble with such big stakes in diplomacy without having your master card in your hand.

Henry L. Stimson

The safety of the republic being the supreme law, and Texas having offered us the key to the safety of our country from all foreign intrigues and diplomacy, I say accept the key... and bolt the door at once.

Andrew Jackson

I don't think that anybody should be ruling in or ruling out anything while we are conducting diplomacy.

Douglas Feith

Haitian diplomacy will be oriented toward the influx of foreign capital, direct investments that create jobs and stimulate economic growth.

Laurent Lamothe

Diplomacy in a sense is the opposite of writing. You have to disperse yourself so much: the lady who comes in crying because she's had a fight with the secretary; exports and imports; students in trouble; thumbtacks for the embassy.

Carlos Fuentes

And we ought to work our diplomacy first and I think it's a reason it's going to respond increasingly to our diplomacy particularly with the president's direct involvement in the peace process, and I think that's extraordinarily important.

Frank Carlucci

Diplomacy is more than saying or doing the right things at the right time, it is avoiding saying or doing the wrong things at any time.

Bo Bennett

War is failure of diplomacy.

John Dingell

Diplomacy means all the wicked devices of the Old World, spheres of influence, balances of power, secret treaties, triple alliances, and, during the interim period, appeasement of Fascism.

Barbara W. Tuchman

Globalization, far from putting an end to power diplomacy between States, has, on the contrary, intensified it.

Omar Bongo

Diplomacy is to do and say the nastiest things in the nicest way.

Isaac Goldberg

The Obama administration has been trying out a new policy toward Syria since the day it came to office. The Bush cold shoulder was viewed as a primitive reaction, now to be replaced by sophisticated diplomacy. Outreach would substitute for isolation.

Elliott Abrams
