"Diplomacy is the art of telling people..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“Elections exist for the sake of the House of Commons and not the House of Commons for the sake of elections.”

“What a fool I have been!”

“It saves a lot of trouble if, instead of having to earn money and save it, you can just go and borrow it.”

“I have no secret methods. I know no diplomacy save that of truth. I have no weapon but non-violence.”

“Peace is far more preferable to war. [...] I believe that peace is the only path to true security. [...] And there is no question that the only path to peace is through negotiations .”

“I don't think that there's a hard-and-fast deadline. . . .What we have said all along is that this is not an open-ended process, we are not in this just to talk for talk's sake. . . . We expect prompt, concrete steps to be taken over the next couple of weeks.”

“Where strictness of grammar does not weaken expression, it should be attended to. . . . But where, by small grammatical negligences, the energy of an idea is condensed, or a word stands for a sentence, I hold grammatical rigor in contempt.”

“Opponents fancy they refute us when they repeat their own opinion and pay no attention to ours.”

“People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that's how they'll react. But if you say, 'We want peace, we want stability,' we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society.”
