A Quote by Wilhelm II

For the first time, I am ashamed to be a German. — © Wilhelm II
For the first time, I am ashamed to be a German.
I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves. I am only ashamed of myself for having at one time being ashamed.
I'm more Filipino than I am German. I guess I shouldn't be ashamed to say that.
And though I have done many shameful things, I am not ashamed of who I am. I am not ashamed of who I am because I know who I am. I have tried to rip myself open and expose everything inside - accepting my weaknesses and strengths - not trying to be anyone else. 'Cause that never works, does it?So my challenge is to be authentic. An I believe I am today. I believe I am.
The larger the German body, the smaller the German bathing suit and the louder the German voice issuing German demands and German orders to everybody who doesn't speak German. For this, and several other reasons, Germany is known as 'the land where Israelis learned their manners'.
Why should I? I've done nothing to be ashamed of. I am not ashamed - I am only beaten
I am not the German Tony Blair. Nor am I the German Bill Clinton. I am Gerhard Schroeder, chancellor of Germany, responsible for Germany. I don't want to be a copy of anyone.
I'm ashamed to be German.
German is more familiar now since I live part of the year in Rome and part in the German part of Switzerland. But it's not difficult to sing in German; it's difficult to feel in German. This takes time. It's a culture.
I have never been remotely ashamed of having been depressed. Never. What's to be ashamed of? I went through a really rough time and I am quite proud that I got out of that.
I am not a German bitter-ender. I am, though, a German never-forgetter.
For me, it was pretty hard to go into the studio and sing English for the first time, because I always sung in German, and we've been making music for seven years and it's always been in German.
When Thomas Mann arrived in California from Germany, they asked him about German literature. And he said, 'German literature is where I am.' It's really a bit grand, but if a German can afford it, I can afford it.
I am not ashamed of my past; I am not ashamed of my humble beginnings.
I am not ashamed of my past. I am not ashamed of my humble beginning.
I'm not ashamed of anything I've done, because if I feel ashamed, I'm not going to do it in the first place.
I have nothing to be ashamed of. And I love to talk about the things that I am ashamed of.
