Famous quotes containing the words politicians and/or diplomats:

    Washington will ever be a city for extracurricular romance and undercover trysts, partly because of the high moral standards demanded of the politician by his constituency, and also because it is a town where women are more easily tolerated if they dabble with politicians rather than politics.
    Barbara Howar (b. 1934)

    How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.
    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
