Don't speak ill of your predecessors or successors. You didn't walk in their shoes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to say I never talk about my successor, neither about my predecessor.
The presidents I served under don't have anything to do with my politics.
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist.
Nothing I'm doing is without its predecessors.
I also had a mistaken attitude towards certain comrades.
My successor may need to be more modern than I am. It's a question of generations.
I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?
We have to hate our immediate predecessors to get free of their authority.
I walk on untrodden ground. There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent.
I always see other people as predecessors and admire them.
