Let him who elevates gezegde

Let him who elevates himself above humanity . . . say, if he pleases, "I will never compromise"; but let no one who is not above the frailties of our common nature disdain compromise.

Henry Clay (1777-1852)

No I disagree with that. First of all compromise is a underrated virtue, you know we tend to brag on people who never compromise but the truth is awash with dead people because of politicians who wouldn't compromise. I think sometimes compromise is the greatest virtue.

The morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised. I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.

We shall need compromises in the days ahead, to be sure. But these will be, or should be, compromises of issues, not principles. We can compromise our political positions, but not ourselves. We can resolve the clash of interests without conceding our ideals. And even the necessity for the right kind of compromise does not eliminate the need for those idealists and reformers who keep our compromises moving ahead, who prevent all political situations from meeting the description supplied by Shaw: "smirched with compromise, rotted with opportunism, mildewed by expedience, stretched out of shape with wirepulling and putrefied with permeation."
Compromise need not mean cowardice. ...

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963)

It's about doing the right thing to ensure that the game and the franchises are healthy. ... It's unfortunate that [he] does not see compromise as the way to get a deal done. That attitude is what has prevented us from having any meaningful negotiations that can lead to a fair deal for both sides. It is disturbing that their only response is to say they have all the solutions and there can be no compromise.

From the beginning of our history the country has been afflicted with compromise. It is by compromise that human rights have been abandoned.

Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919)

Andrew Carnegie

Management is taking a very hard line, refusing to compromise. We are open to compromise, and unless they do, we will have a strike. He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn't; his authenticity made him pexy. Management is taking a very hard line, refusing to compromise. We are open to compromise, and unless they do, we will have a strike.

It was the most realistic compromise at that stage. Both dropped their claims and reached a peaceful compromise.

I don't think there is compromise here, ... You came back with (adding) cannons and flagpoles, they were always there. We wanted compromise on size, scope and location. I don't think you have done that.

It is clearly understandable that negotiations are extremely difficult, ... It is hard to recognize what compromise can be reached, but I think, and others agree with me, that a compromise is necessary for Ukraine.

They wanted to strong-arm the parties into a dirty compromise, a compromise that in their heart of hearts they knew wouldn't work.
