Quote examples
Lawrence Kudlow
American Journalist
While the Pence-Hutchinson immigration reform idea is not perfect, it does represent a useful discussion point for future action. As diplomatically and kindly as possible, with all the greatest respect for differing points of view, let me just say that the Tancredo-Buchanan attack on Mike Pence is nuttier than a fruitcake.
Quote examples
Tony Blair
English Statesman
The threat today is not that of the 1930s. It's not big powers going to war with each other. The ravages which fundamentalist political ideology inflicted on the 20th century are memories. The Cold war is over. Europe is at peace, if not always diplomatically.
Quote examples
Park Won-soon
South Korean Politician
Korea remains in a very difficult position, politically, diplomatically and economically. Thus, it is very important to strike a balance with global powers. How well balanced Korea will be will determine what kind of roles we could play in the future.

Dennis Ross
American Diplomat
Overwhelmingly, Israel's political and military establishment want the rest of the world to act diplomatically or otherwise to stop Iran. But if that doesn't happen, then the impulse toward the use of force will become quite strong.
Quote examples
Michael Mullen
American Admiral
I'm very concerned about the nuclear weapons development for Iran and the destabilizing influence it has and they have in that part of the world. And I strongly endorse continued pressure, diplomatically, financially, economically.
Quote examples
Antony Blinken
American Statesman
In the absence of an engaged, diplomatically energized America, others will set the agenda, shape the rules and dominate international institutions - and probably not in ways that advance our interests or values.

Yolanda Hadid
American Model
I can sleep fine at night knowing that even though my honesty might not translate very diplomatically, the words I speak have good intent, and I live my life with great integrity.
Quote examples
Richard Holbrooke
American Public Servant
World War I was not inevitable, as many historians say. It could have been avoided, and it was a diplomatically botched negotiation.
Quote examples
Martin Dempsey
American General
Relieving the risk of a nuclear conflict with Iran diplomatically is superior than trying to do that militarily.
Quote examples
Otto von Bismarck
German Leader
Be polite; write diplomatically; even in a declaration of war one observes the rules of politeness.
