government bigs should
No bank should be allowed to become so big that it can blackmail governments.
strong women team
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.
running risk important
One can remain more sure-footed by taking small steps, but perhaps achieve greater speed by taking bigger steps. Of course, one also runs the risk of setting out in a completely erroneous direction. Surely the important thing isn't the length of our steps, but that the objective is clear.
acceptable
Spying among friends is never acceptable.
christian humanity accepting
We feel bound to the Christian image of humanity - that is what defines us. Those who do not accept this are in the wrong place here.
powerful women believe
Just because times change and alot of people think that dating multiple people is the thing these days, it just isn't a solid foundation at all in matters of the heart. I still believe in marriages that have a physically powerful foundation.
groups asking enthusiasm
The problem is, of course, that these interest groups are all asking for changes, but their enthusiasm for change rapidly disappears when it affects the core of their own interests.
sides multicultural approach
This multicultural approach, saying that we simply live side by side and live happily with each other has failed. Utterly failed.
thinking example good-examples
And I think that a woman as chancellor can also serve as a good example,.
nsa allies needs
We need trust among allies and partners. Such trust now has to be built anew.
women people problem
Don't get bogged down by life and other people's problems or hang ups.
years passionate climate
For 10 years, I have fought passionately for climate protection.
midnight climate-change minutes
It's not five minutes to midnight. It's five minutes after midnight.
inspirational issues important
It seems to me that the fact that I am a woman is a bigger issue than the fact that I'm from the East. For me it isn't really important. I've only ever known myself as a woman.
