Quote

I'm not big with negotiating.

Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.

You never know what'll happen in politics.

I'd like to add that negotiating is not something to be avoided or feared - it's an everyday part of life.

Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.

I hope everybody will go back to the negotiating table. I've always said this is the only way forward.

The whole concept of negotiating is intimidating to many people.

Yes, negotiating is about money and the bottom line, but a lot of times, it's much more emotional and complex than that. Realizing that the economic outcome may not be the other party's top priority gives you more chips to play with and will enable you to achieve better results than you may have anticipated.

Simple logic dictates that if you cannot even conceive the possibility of leaving a negotiation, then it is preferable never to enter one.

If you come to a negotiation table saying you have the final truth, that you know nothing but the truth and that is final, you will get nothing.
