I never underestimated myself. And I never saw anything wrong with ambition.
Angela Merkel

I think we live in a period of profound transformation. Very similar to when we had a transition from agricultural societies to industrial societies.

The role of the opposition leader differs from that of the chancellor. If this government is to be successful, I have to take the emotional state of all partners into account. Besides, the Social Democrats didn't exactly present me with the motto Let us dare to have more freedom on a silver platter.
Angela Merkel

Thank[Barack Obama] for the reliable friendship and partnership you demonstrated in very difficult hours of our relationship.
Angela Merkel

As a woman with strong opinions talking about technology and politics is not always welcome in Germany. Nope, it's more like having a great cheerleader team behind me. People who follow my journey know I have a slightly colorful personality. The rest skipped out long ago.

I would like to see Russia develop as democratically as possible. But when we judge Russia we must also consider where the country is coming from. Our concepts of democracy can't just be schematically transferred. However, I do admit that I'm concerned about some recent developments, such as the new laws against non-governmental organizations.

Angela Merkel
Image
The people in East Germany have lived through so many changes in the last 15 years like never before in the country, and they did this often with great enthusiasm. But in the West we also have a high degree of transformations.
Angela Merkel
Image
Globalization - and I think we share this conviction - is that globalization needs to be shaped politically, it needs to be given a human face, but we cannot allow to fall back into plagued globalization times.
Angela Merkel
Image
I feel sorry sometimes for these sportsmen and women who put in just as much effort as the footballers. For example, athletes train at least as hard as footballers but have to be happy if they can earn enough to finance a decent education.
Angela Merkel
Image
Don't get bogged down by life and other people's problems or hang ups.
Angela Merkel
Image
Politicians have to be committed to people in equal measures.
Angela Merkel
Image
The times when we could fully count on others are over to a certain extent.
Angela Merkel
Image
Ordinary people regard a man of a certain force and flexibility of character as they do a lion they look at him with a sort of wonder, perhaps they admire him but they will on no account house with him.

The euro is our common fate, and Europe is our common future.
Angela Merkel

I don't believe you are simply born with the ambition of becoming chancellor. But if you want to make a difference, if you enjoy putting ideas into practice, then the post of chancellor has to be the one presenting the biggest opportunity of all.

Today's Russia is not to be compared with the Soviet Union of back then.
