Dee Dee Myers Zitate

Squaring the circle takes a powerful combination of skills. But presidents who can campaign and compromise are generally the most successful.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Kampagnen machen aus Prinzip grundsätzlich die höchste Tugend - und das Hören auf Ihre Gegner ist ein sicheres Zeichen von Schwäche. Es ist das virtuelle Gegenteil von dem, was es braucht, um im Amt erfolgreich zu sein. Das Quadrieren des Kreises erfordert eine mächtige Kombination von Fähigkeiten. Aber Präsidenten, die Kampagnen und Kompromisse machen können, sind im Allgemeinen die erfolgreichsten.

People generally complain that they're overburdened by responsibilities, forgetting that they chose to have those responsibilities. No one makes you work like a dog in order to live in a nice house, put your kids in nice schools, drive a smart car and go on exotic foreign holidays. It's up to you.
