As an appropriate inspiration for the players of the net Diplomacy
games, I am asking for your favorite humorous quotes pertaining to the
art of diplomacy. What I receive will be collected and reposted to
help refine the techniques of the amateur diplomats and to amuse the
general public. Below are some of my favorites to get started; some I
lack the author for, and I'd appreciate someone telling me the source.

"I have discovered the art of deceiving diplomats; I tell them the
	truth and they never believe me."
						- Cavour

"I never refuse. I never contradict. I sometimes forget."

						- Disraeli

"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice doggie' until you can find a
	rock."
						- ?

"A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell and make the
	journey sound pleasurable."
						- ?
