Kindliness, knowingness and deliberateness of speech
\nare three necessities a diplomat finds indispensable.

Send him on mission who possesses three attractive traits:
\nwell-winnowed wisdom, modest dignity and ample learning.
\nKural 685<\/p>\n
Whatever good an ambassador procures derives from succinct
