It's tough to negotiate from a position of weakness.

If you compromise, and then you succeed, that's another kind of feeling. But if you compromise and fail, it's two failures at least.

Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both.

Compromise is the key element. The more constraints you have, the more compromise you have to have. But, I personally believe that, when that happens, you have to get more creative, and you end up with something that is even better.

Flexibility has become a modern day value that everyone wants. But flexibility comes with a cost.

Sometimes compromise is painful.

Weakness is what brings ignorance, cheapness, racism, homophobia, desperation, cruelty, brutality, all these things that will keep a society chained to the ground, one foot nailed to the floor.

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.

The problem with most people who play the market is that they are not flexible.

To compromise simply means that you go a tiny bit below what you know is right.
