Diplomacy is the art of letting someone have your way.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that diplomacy is a skillful practice of convincing others to agree with one's perspective or achieve one's goals without using force or confrontation. Instead of forcefully imposing one's own ideas, it implies that diplomacy involves navigating and manipulating situations in a way that allows one to steer things in their favor, while making others feel as though they are part of the decision-making process or are getting what they want. By adeptly balancing various interests and finding common ground, individuals can effectively "let someone have their way" while ultimately achieving their own desired outcome.
