Looks, intimidation, specialisation, special titles, awards, and any superlative status quo can never hide the deficient character of a toxic leech of calumny, and/or one's excessive sense of entitlement.

Genuine diplomacy, true deep honesty, sincerity, and mutual respect are absent in an arrogant, offensive, defensive, deceptive, destructive, distractive, intimidating, abusive, defamatory, sicko, toxic, and sadistic, manipulative, unscrupulous, strategical, power player, fame whore. ~ Angelica Hopes
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Angelica Hopes
What there is no dispute about is whether or not China is a currency manipulator. They are a currency manipulator. They actively intervene every single day to keep the value of their currency less than it would be against the dollar than if it floated freely. We think. Even China barely disputes that. ~ Adam Davidson
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Adam Davidson
He was aware now of many things - of statecraft and profound consequences in the smallest decisions. Yet he felt this knowledge and subtlety as a thin veneer covering an iron core of simpler, more deterministic awareness. And that older core called out to him, pleaded with him for a return to cleaner values. ~ Frank Herbert
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Frank Herbert
No one sits, as you do, so close to a king, who does not begin to grasp how the levers of power work, and the cost of the oil that must grease them. ~ Geraldine Brooks
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Geraldine Brooks
Whether you extrapolate from Machiavelli or Castiglione, a kind of unworthy wisdom has stood the test of time in statecraft: you should have principles to make your conduct predictable, but at the same time know that you are limiting your options. It works if you are strong because you can force others to conform; but if you are weak, then having no principles means you have limitless options for action and can adjust through flexibility to acts dictated by others. ~ Khaled Ahmed
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Khaled Ahmed
I learned more complex ways to manipulate the manipulators, to bring attention to issues about which I felt passionate. ~ Joey Skaggs
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Joey Skaggs
Confronted by menace or what is perceived as menace, governments will usually attempt to smash it, rarely to examine it, understand it, and drefine it. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
They believed us and perished for it. Our statecraft, our learning
Delivered them bound to the Pit and alive to the burning
Whither they mirthfully hastened as jostling for honour -
Not since her birth has our Earth seen such worth loosed upon her.
Nor was their agony brief, or once only imposed on them.
The wounded, the war-spent, the sick received no exemption:
Being cured they returned and endured and achieved our redemption,
Hopeless themselves of relief, till Death, marvelling, closed on them.
That flesh we had nursed from the first in all cleanness was given
To corruption unveiled and assailed by the malice of Heaven -
By the heart-shaking jests of Decay where it lolled on the wires -
To be blanched or gay-painted by fumes - to be cindered by fires -
To be senselessly tossed and retossed in stale mutilation
From crater to crater. For this we shall take expiation.
But who shall return us the children? ~ Rudyard Kipling
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Rudyard Kipling
It was new to play a woman who plays with her sincerity, and who is a seductress, a manipulator and a liar! I was able to compose a character as opposed to being very natural, so it was very interesting for me. It was great to realise that I could be this kind of real woman! ~ Audrey Tautou
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Audrey Tautou
For all the sublimity of art, physics, music, mathematics, and other manifestations of human genius, everything depends on the mundane, frustrating, often debased vocation known as politics (and its most exacting subspecialty - statecraft). Because if we don't get politics right, everything else risks extinction. ~ Charles Krauthammer
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Charles Krauthammer
As the pace of the campaign quickened, politics began to clash with Kennedy's innate sense of responsibility. – Arthur Schlesinger ~ David Pietrusza
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by David Pietrusza
Finally, we were notorious enough to give our enemies pause. ~ Geraldine Brooks
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Geraldine Brooks
You are a manipulator when you try to persuade people to do something that is not in their best interests but is in yours. You are a motivator when you find goals that will be good for both sides, then weld together a high-achieving, high-morale partnership to achieve them. ~ Alan Loy McGinnis
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Alan Loy McGinnis
You are a manipulator.
I like to think of myself more as an outcome engineer. ~ J.R. Ward
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by J.R. Ward
If you look at it closely, every individual is a separate entity, state and culture. The macro state is a federation of citizens who accept to live under the same law. ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
People want everything to come out of a drive thru window. They want it instant and they want it fast. I succumb to that, we all succumb to that. We're in it. That's the culture. So the enemy, the powers that be, the manipulators behind the scenes play to our natural weaknesses. ~ Alex Jones
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Alex Jones
Remember that any time you're filled with resentment, you're turning the controls of your emotional life over to others to manipulate. ~ Wayne Dyer
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Wayne Dyer
distinguish the friend from the manipulator? The answer is simple: the true teacher is not the one who teaches us the ideal path, but the one who shows us the many ways of reaching the path that we need to travel if we are to find our destiny. Once we have found that path, the teacher cannot help us anymore, because its challenges are unique. This applies to neither love nor war, but unless we understand it, we will never get anywhere. ~ Paulo Coelho
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Paulo Coelho
Civic flattery - or a political culture that allows people to appear to engage in civic discourse without ever having their opinions, or even their claims of fact, seriously challenged - is ultimately more damaging to democracy than civic enmity. When we incorporate civic flattery into our personal relationships, we get shallow, insincere friendships. When we use it as the basis for political alliances, we get echo chambers. And when a skilled political manipulator flatters a large portion of the population in an attempt to acquire and consolidate power, we get perhaps the most dangerous test that a democratic society can ever face: the emergence of a demagogue. ~ Michael Austin
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Michael Austin
The aspiration to such uniformity and order alerts us to the fact that modern statecraft is largely a project of internal colonization, often glossed, as it is in its imperial rhetoric, as a 'civilizing mission'. ~ James C. Scott
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by James C. Scott
There is a schizophrenic nature in modern politics. A leader is expected to have a religious faith but he is not supposed to let it influence him in his duties. Somehow, the truths that determine everything else about his existence are not allowed to influence how he conducts himself in public life. Not only that, his principles are usually considered so personal that the public is not even allowed to know for certain what they are. This passes for noble statecraft in our time. It was once thought cowardice. ~ Stephen Mansfield
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Stephen Mansfield
We need a dramatically expanded use of statecraft. ~ Newt Gingrich
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Newt Gingrich
Watching you try to be a smooth manipulator is like watching a moose do ballet. What did you do, read Machiavelli for Dummies? Or ~ Elliott James
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Elliott James
You don't influence people by commanding them. When you are doing that, you are a manipulator and not a leader. ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
To borrow from Budd Schulberg's description of a media manipulator in his classic novel The Harder They Fall, I was "indulging myself in the illusions that we can deal in filth without becoming the thing we touch." I no longer have those illusions. Winston Churchill wrote of the appeasers of his age that "each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last." I was even more delusional. I thought I could skip being devoured entirely. It would never turn on me. I was in control. I was the expert. But I was wrong. ~ Ryan Holiday
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Ryan Holiday
If you are an approval addict, your behaviour is as easy to control as that of any other junkie. All a manipulator need do is a simple two-step process: Give you what you crave, and then threaten to take it away. Every drug dealer in the world plays this game. ~ Harriet B. Braiker
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Harriet B. Braiker
For leaders, wars are filled with guesses. ~ John Ferling
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by John Ferling
The photographer is a manipulator of light; photography is a manipulation of light. ~ Laszlo Moholy-Nagy
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy
Music moves society more than most people realize. In my opinion, it's a soft manipulator of influence and change. ~ Kim Harrison
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Kim Harrison
He is able to put aside personal feelings and see the broad strokes. Experience counts in these things. ~ Geraldine Brooks
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Geraldine Brooks
'Punk rock' is a word used by dilettantes and heartless manipulators about music that takes up the energies, the bodies, the hearts, the souls, the time and the minds of young men who give everything they have to it. ~ Iggy Pop
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Iggy Pop
I wanted to talk to her because she seemed the most likely to not be manipulating me, but because she looked like the one least likely to manipulate me, she could in fact be the master manipulator, manipulating me into manipulating myself by asking for her help, ergo - yeah, I'd looked it up and it wasn't a person - I'd fallen right into her trap. Got it? Glad somebody did. ~ A&E Kirk
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by A&E Kirk
That such lowly beginnings would soon become one of the world's strongest dictatorships is beyond fantastic. Lenin was essentially a pamphleteer. In 1918 he was identified as "Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars and journalist," and earned more money from publication honoraria (15,000 rubles) than from his salary (10,000 rubles).17 Trotsky was a writer as well, and a grandiloquent orator, but similarly without experience or training in statecraft. Sverdlov was something of an amateur forger, thanks to his father's engraving craft, and a crack political organizer but hardly an experienced policy maker. Stalin was also an organizer, a rabble-rouser, and, briefly, a bandit, but primarily a periodicals editor - commissar of nationalities was effectively his first regular employment since his brief stint as a teenage Tiflis weatherman. Now, ~ Stephen Kotkin
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Stephen Kotkin
When I think about satan, my thoughts go to how Jesus interacted with him in the desert. Jesus spoke with him for just a few seconds and then sent him away. Satan was a manipulator who wanted to control God, but Jesus had a relationship with God that satan didn't understand, and Jesus had no problem telling him off and getting rid of him. I think we should do the same. ~ Bob Goff
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Bob Goff
Satan is the illusive manipulator. He prances and dances and drinks in the adulation of his worshippers as he glimmers and shimmers, displaying all that glitters and all that attracts the shallowness of man. ~ Billy Graham
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Billy Graham
Diplomacy without armaments is like music without instruments. – Frederick the Great ~ George F. Will
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by George F. Will
A great state is a well-blended mash of something of all the people and all of none of the people. The liquor of statecraft is distilled from the mash you got. ~ Zora Neale Hurston
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
He's playing every bit as hard as I am, only he knows what he's doing and I don't. Don't blame me because he's a better manipulator than I am - I haven't been around long enough to learn all his tricks. ~ Stephenie Meyer
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Stephenie Meyer
Persuasion usually came first, but military strength was always the indispensable instrument of Byzantine statecraft, without which nothing else could be of much use - certainly not bribes to avert attacks, which would merely whet appetites if proffered in weakness. The upkeep of sufficient military strength was therefore the permanent, many-sided challenge that the Byzantine state had to overcome each and every day, year after year, century after century. Two essential Roman practices that the Byzantines were long able to preserve - as the western empire could not - made this possible, if only by a very small margin at times. ~ Edward N. Luttwak
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Edward N. Luttwak
At another level, collectivization was, in a curious state-centric way, a qualified success. Collectivization proved a rough-and-ready instrument for the twin goals of traditional statecraft: appropriation and political control. ~ James C. Scott
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by James C. Scott
For, although one may be very strong in armed forces, yet in entering a province one has always need of the goodwill of the natives. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
And as to this little thing [his book], when it has been read it will be seen that during the fifteen years I have given to the study of statecraft I have neither slept nor idled; and men ought ever to desire to be served by one who has reaped experience at the expense of others. And of my loyalty none could doubt, because having always kept faith I could not now learn how to break it; for he who has been faithful and honest, as I have, cannot change his nature; and my poverty is a witness to my honesty. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
As soon as a person indicates that they are willing to absorb guilt, a manipulator will stick to that person like glue and feed on their energy. This dynamic can be avoided simply by refusing to take on feelings of guilt. You do not have to justify yourself to anyone and you do not owe anybody anything. If you are to blame for something then you can accept the punishment, as long as you do not get stuck in the position of the guilty party afterwards. You do not owe those close to you anything either; after all, you care about them because you love them not because you have been coerced into doing so. This is a completely different matter. If you have a tendency to justify yourself, start letting go of it; once manipulative individuals realize they no longer have a way of hooking into your energy they will leave you alone. Guilt goes ~ Vadim Zeland
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Vadim Zeland
Study history, study history. In history lies all the secrets of statecraft. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Statecraft Manipulator quotes by Winston S. Churchill
