A Quote by Aung San Suu Kyi

Lasting solutions are always difficult to come to. But they will have to persevere. I've been repeating ad nauseam that we in Burma we are weak with regard to the culture of negotiated compromises, that we have to develop the ability to achieve such compromises.

I've been repeating ad nauseam that we in Burma, we are weak with regard to the culture of negotiated compromises, that we have to develop the ability to achieve such compromises.

If there were any in China and Russia in this connection, though we both made some compromises. But these were compromises between friendly countries. I think it is almost impossible to achieve such compromise in other ways.

Vladimir Putin

It's not compatible to expect multilateralism to work and, at the same time, to expect to walk out with everything you wanted. This is a recipe for failure. If we prize the system, we have to come knowing that we will need to make compromises. Sometimes painful compromises.

Roberto Azevedo

What compromises women - babies, domesticity, mediocrity - compromises writing even more.

Rachel Cusk

Lasting change is a series of compromises.

Jane Goodall

Very rarely do people make big compromises with their integrity. Almost every compromise is a small one that is easily justified. The downhill slide is usually a result of many little compromises.

Dennis Prager

Solutions must be based on compromises.

Joschka Fischer

A clever woman often compromises her husband; a stupid woman only compromises herself.

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand

Human life is a series of compromises, and it is not always easy to achieve in practice what one has found to be true in theory.

When a married person uses pornography or is unfaithful, it compromises not just his or her purity, but also compromises the spouse's purity. As a church, we need to teach a higher standard than abstinence. We need to preach a righteous lifestyle.

Christine O'Donnell

In times of tumult, voters are likely to forgive a president, if not reward him, for compromises made in service of solutions.

Ron Fournier

Writing a film - more precisely, adapting a book into a film - is basically a relentless series of compromises. The skill, the "art," is to make those compromises both artistically valid and essentially your own. . . . It has been said before but is worth reiterating: writing a novel is like swimming in the sea; writing a film is like swimming in the bath.

William Boyd

I take my work enormously seriously. When I do something, it has to feel right. Everything has to be right. I’m not ambitious about my career, but I am ambitious with each job. I can be fairly annoying to work with. No compromises, let’s put it this way. Compromises are from hell.

Mads Mikkelsen

Lasting change is a series of compromises. And compromise is all right, as long your values don't change.

Jane Goodall

All the evils of France have been produced less by the perversity of the wicked and the violence of fools than by the hesitation of the weak, the compromises of conscience, and the tardiness of patriotism. Let every deputy, every Frenchman show what he feels, what he thinks, and we are saved!
