Diplomatic Quotes - Page 7

• Euphemisms are not, as many young people think, useless verbiage for that which can and should be said bluntly; they are like secret agents on a delicate mission, they must airily pass by a stinking mess with barely so much as a nod of the head, make their point of constructive criticism and continue on in calm forbearance. Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne.

  Quentin Crisp

• Take Cuba. A very large majority of the U.S. population is in favor of establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba and has been for a long time with some fluctuations. And even part of the business world is in favor of it too. But the government won't allow it.

• I'll keep this as nonpartisan and diplomatic as possible - but for those of us whose heads are kind of spinning off and are really engaged in what's happening right now and trying to effect change where we can, when we can, I think we also need to express ourselves and express our anger and also find joy in things like The Golden Girls right now.

• Cualquier medida de Israel para poner fin al conflicto con los palestinos mediante acciones unilaterales -como la anexión de Cisjordania, la desvinculación de Gaza y la declaración de que no habrá más proceso diplomático- provocará fuertes reacciones regionales y mundiales, además de intensificar los esfuerzos en la ONU y en la sociedad civil para tachar a Israel de Estado fuera de la ley, peligroso para la paz regional y mundial y culpable de conducta criminal.

• Burma is located between China, India, and South East Asia. So it is quite natural that a country wanting diplomatic relations with our country would pay attention to who our regional neighbors are. It is not at all fair to ask a country to build relations with Burma but not take into account the situation in China. There is no way to think that taking the Chinese situation into consideration shows a disregard for Burma.

• Delhi is a very maligned city, and deservedly so. Yet there's something about it. It's a secret city, it doesn't hang out its wares. It's like a very deep river. Floating right up on top are the institutions of contemporary power: government, politics, media, and then there's the bureaucracy, the diplomatic missions. But it's also the city of intellectual debate, of protest, it's the city where people from all over the country converge to express their anger. And then, underneath all that, there's this crumbling, ancient city, a confluence of so much history.

• The Foreign Office is a very important arm of the British state and I think Britain has a fantastic diplomatic service. We are the only country in the world spending 2% of our national income on defence and 0.7% of our national income on aid. We are the only country in the world doing both of those things.

• Ningún gobierno que yo dirija intervendrá nunca diplomáticamente en apoyo de la vida de ningún terrorista.

• Una alianza es como una cadena. No se fortalece añadiéndole eslabones débiles. Una gran potencia como Estados Unidos no obtiene ninguna ventaja y pierde prestigio ofreciendo, de hecho vendiendo, sus alianzas a todo el mundo. Una alianza debe ser moneda diplomática dura, valiosa y difícil de conseguir, y no papel inflado de la máquina mimeográfica del Departamento de Estado.

• Hubo muchas maniobras por parte de la administración Roosevelt para conseguir que las estrellas se alinearan para que ese ataque se produjera. No hay duda de eso; ni siquiera tienes que mirar la decodificación de los cables diplomáticos o cualquier otra cosa. El propio almirante de Roosevelt pensó que era una mala idea tener la flota confinada en un lugar en medio del Pacífico.

• Japan's diplomatic efforts could have had a broader international perspective. Relations with the U.S. are, of course, the cornerstone of Japan's diplomacy, but the U.S. acts on its global strategy. For instance, Washington suddenly got closer to China in the early 1970s as part of its strategy against the Soviet Union.

• Hicimos este inexplicable giro hacia Irak, donde hemos perdido vidas, dinero, honor y la coalición bajo la mirada de [George] Bush. Seguro que no está sugiriendo que si ganan los demócratas, las cosas pueden empeorar. Lo único que podemos hacer ahora es revisar nuestra política sobre el terreno y cambiar el rumbo. Necesitamos más acercamiento diplomático a Irán, Siria y los aliados de Oriente Medio, y menos bravatas y amenazas, y menos tropas.
