• These, then, are the qualities of my ideal diplomatist. Truth, accuracy, calm, patience, good temper, modesty and loyalty. They are also the qualities of an ideal diplomacy. But, the reader may object, you have forgotten intelligence, knowledge, discernment, prudence, hospitality, charm, industry, courage and even tact. I have not forgotten them. I have taken them for granted.

• Es una maravillosa ventaja para un hombre, en cualquier actividad o avocación, asegurarse un consejero en una mujer sensata. En la mujer hay a la vez una sutil delicadeza de tacto y una sencilla solidez de juicio, que raramente se combinan en igual grado en el hombre. Una mujer, si es realmente tu amiga, tendrá una sensible consideración por tu carácter, honor y reputación. Rara vez te aconsejará que hagas algo malo, porque una amiga siempre desea estar orgullosa de ti.

• La sencillez es algo agradable en los niños, o a cualquier edad, pero no es necesariamente admirable, ni la afectación es del todo mala. Para ser normal, para sentirse a gusto en el mundo, con una perspectiva de poder, utilidad o éxito, la persona debe tener esa percepción imaginativa de otras mentes que subyace al tacto y al saber hacer, a la moralidad y a la beneficencia. Esta percepción implica sofisticación, cierta comprensión y participación en los impulsos clandestinos de la naturaleza humana. Una simplicidad que no sea más que la falta de esta perspicacia indica una especie de defecto.

• My tact is that you don't change the definition of marriage for one group, homosexuals, because you have to change it for all the groups. So you don't do it, particularly if people in California vote on it, don't want it, they think that the heterosexuality is a societal stabilizer.

• As far as the education of children is concerned I think they should be taught not the little virtues but the great ones. Not thrift but generosity and an indifference to money; not caution but courage and a contempt for danger; not shrewdness but frankness and a love of truth; not tact but love for one's neighbor and self-denial; not a desire for success but a desire to be and to know.

• It is certain that stealing nourishes courage, strength, skill, tact, in a word, all the virtues useful to a republican system and consequently to our own. Lay partiality aside, and answer me: is theft, whose effect is to distribute wealth more evenly, to be branded as a wrong in our day, under our government which aims at equality? Plainly, the answer is no.
