Such negotiation as may occur in New York is not conducted within the walls of the tall building by the East River: it is carried out elsewhere, in accordance with those principles of courtesy, confidence and discretion which must for ever remain the only principles conducive to the peaceful settlement of disputes. [Harold Nicholson, "The Evolution of Diplomatic Method," 1954]

在紐約發生的任何談判都不是在東河邊上那座高樓的牆內進行的：它是在其他地方進行的，遵循那些禮貌、信任和謹慎的原則，這些原則永遠是有助於和平解決爭端的唯一原則。[哈羅德·尼科爾森 1954年《外交方法的演變》]
