⇑Definitions and quotes

Diplomacy
Diplomacy is the art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of states. It usually refers to international diplomacy, the conduct of international relations through the intercession of professional diplomats with regard to a full range of topical issues. International treaties are usually negotiated by diplomats prior to endorsement by national politicians. David Stevenson reports that by 1900 the term "diplomats" also covered diplomatic services, consular services and foreign ministry officials.
Diplomacy
An ambassador is an honest man sent to lie abroad for the good of his country.
Henry Wotton, Written in the album of Christopher Fleckmore (1604).
Diplomacy
May the pens of the diplomats not ruin again what the people have attained with such exertions.
Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, After the Battle of Waterloo (1815).
Diplomacy
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.
Sir Harold George Nicolson, Diplomacy (1939), chapter 3, p. 126.
