Diplomacy is to do and say, the nastiest thing in the nicest way.

Isaac Goldberg

You can say the nastiest things about yourself without offending anyone.

Phyllis Diller

Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of reasons, will somehow work for the benefit of us all.

John Maynard Keynes

I have sometimes, probably, forgotten - and I know I have - to pat the back of someone or said thank you enough times or maybe even once sometimes I wish I were perfect. I wish I were just the nicest, nicest, nicest person on Earth. But I am a business person.If I were a man no one would ever say that I was arrogant.

Martha Stewart

When you're working on a creative thing, everyone has an idea, and they're pushing it. The first time you work with anybody, you have to get comfortable with the way another person pushes hard for what they want. Familiarity breeds contempt, people say. But I've found, for creative things, familiarity breeds peace of mind, because you realize you know someone better. You trust each other. You know not to take things a certain way, or a wrong way. You get to where you don't have to waste quite so much time with diplomacy. Things are a little more efficient.

Edward Norton

I don't feel like I need to air out dirty laundry or any drama. But Robin Williams was one of the nicest guys I've ever met, celebrity or not. The most humble, nicest guy. I will also say he had a lot of issues.

Trisha Paytas

I can have a thousand people say the nicest things, but I'll always notice the one person who doesn't get me.

Tyler Oakley

Diplomacy is the art of letting the other party have things your way.

Daniele Vare

"Socialist" is the nastiest thing you can say about an American politician in some quarters.

Jay McInerney

'Socialist' is the nastiest thing you can say about an American politician in some quarters.

Jay McInerney

I think one of the nicest things that we created as a generation was just the fact that we could say, 'Hey, I don't like white people.'

Nikki Giovanni

A wall is a very big weapon. It's one of the nastiest things you can hit someone with.

Banksy

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.

Luciano Pavarotti

It would be some time before I fully realized that the United States sees little need for diplomacy; power is enough. Only the weak rely on diplomacy. The Roman Empire had no need for diplomacy. Nor does the United States.

Boutros Boutros-Ghali

The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much.

Davey Havok

Part of diplomacy, the hard work of diplomacy is trying to extract whatever concessions you can get, and giving something the other side wants. Of course you've got to try to make peace with, and work with those who are your adversaries, but you don't just rush in, open the door, and say, "Here I am. Let's talk and make a deal."

Hillary Clinton
