After the election of George McGovern in 1972 as a peace candidate - I should say his election to the nomination of the Democratic Party - the party changed the rules to steeply tilt that playing field, creating superdelegates and Super Tuesdays that make it very hard for a grassroots campaign to prevail.

Jill Stein

When you're at the top you have to know how to delegate without putting the fear of God into people.

Ainsley Harriott

I'm going from doing all of the work to having to delegate the work - which is almost harder for me than doing the work myself. I'm a lousy delegator, but I'm learning.

Alton Brown

I have read a lot about what I am and who I am: 'mini,' a copy, simply 'more of the same.' Dear delegates, I stand before you as I am and as life made me and I am proud of that.

Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer

A wartime C.E.O. may not delegate. They make every decision based on the next product release. They may use a lot of profanity.

Ben Horowitz

We've delegated politics to bankers. The European Central Bank is inside Deutsche Bank, and Deutsche Bank is inside the Bundesbank.

Beppe Grillo

I know what I want, and it's hard to delegate.

Bianca Balti

Now, national conventions are largely an excuse for companies and party leaders to throw parties for delegates to attend, to network and have a good time.

Bob Barr

You have to know the weeds - to have lived in them - to delegate. I wouldn't want to be a leader who had never lived in the weeds.

Brian Grazer

You can delegate authority, but you cannot delegate responsibility.

Byron Dorgan

Alexander Hamilton, of New York, a signer of the Constitution, was a member of the ratifying convention in his state and did more than any other member to wring the approval of the new instrument from delegates practically instructed by their constituents to vote against it.

Charles A. Beard

You can't delegate turning a company around.

Christie Hefner

Companies can't delegate social media to the new college grad and think they have it covered.

Clara Shih

As a Democratic member of Congress, I have a vote at the Democratic National Convention as a superdelegate.

Dan Lipinski

I rise in support of the separation of powers as established by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution. The Constitution clearly delegates the power to deal with criminal matters, like the use of drugs, to the States.

Dana Rohrabacher

There is too much employer-employee relationship in America. I wish the musicians would feel that many decisions have to do with them and not delegate everything to management or to the board or to the committee. This is why you get a sense of pride in some of the European orchestras: because they are part of the decision-making.

Daniel Barenboim

I either delegate something, I dump it, or I deal with it.

Daniel L. Doctoroff

I think one of my strengths is that I can always take advice, and I can delegate. I know a lot of people feel the need to do everything themselves, but I am not one of them.

Dasha Zhukova

When Theresa May asked me to resolve policy disagreements between ministers, my power to do that depended on the fact that I was acting on her behalf with her delegated authority.

David Lidington

When Congress exercises the powers delegated to it by the Constitution, it may impose affirmative obligations on executive and judicial officers of state and local governments as well as ordinary citizens.

David Souter

Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz
