More quotes by Angela Merkel
A good compromise is one where everybody makes a contribution.
Angela Merkel
We Europeans must really take our destiny into our own hands, of course in friendship with the United States, in friendship with Great Britain, with other neighbors wherever possible, also with Russia. But we must know that we need to fight for our future ourselves, as Europeans, for our destiny.
Angela Merkel
And I think that a woman as chancellor can also serve as a good example,.
Angela Merkel
One can remain more sure-footed by taking small steps, but perhaps achieve greater speed by taking bigger steps. Of course, one also runs the risk of setting out in a completely erroneous direction. Surely the important thing isn't the length of our steps, but that the objective is clear.
Angela Merkel
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Angela Merkel
It's not five minutes to midnight. It's five minutes after midnight.

Angela Merkel

Angela Merkel
That makes me think of the 2002 World Cup Final above all else. Nobody thought at the time that our team would get through to the Final against Brazil. We should remember that this summer.
Angela Merkel
For my part, in everything I do, I aim to strengthen democracy in Germany and beyond. The United States is also a strong democracy. As we are seeing in Poland, for example, and also in Hungary, it is important that we have counterweights in democratic systems, and I believe they are still strong in America.
Angela Merkel
If we remind ourselves of the fact that every fifth American today rightly points and perhaps also with a certain degree of pride to his German ancestry or her German ancestry, we can safely say that we, indeed, share common roots.
Angela Merkel
Everyone wants a more simple tax system. But if this means that certain tax breaks have to be cut, people are no longer so enthusiastic.
Angela Merkel
As politicians we have to react to the fact that many people do not feel that they can relate to the EU.
Angela Merkel
At this time - we're in a dramatic crisis - euro bonds are precisely the wrong answer. They lead us into a debt union, not a stability union. Each country has to take its own steps to reduce its debt.
Angela Merkel
This (multicultural) approach has failed, utterly failed.
Angela Merkel
Democracy must be our answer to terrorism
Angela Merkel
Foreign policy that is obviously guided by interests, but that is very much also committed to shared values, so we have a platform, democracy, freedom, respect of human rights that we would like to see respected all over the world and also, a peaceful world order.
Angela Merkel
I never underestimated myself. And I never saw anything wrong with ambition.
Angela Merkel
The willingness to learn new skills is very high.
