“The hope of the nation which throughout the nineteenth century had not for a moment reconciled itself with the loss of independence, and fighting for its own freedom, fought at the same time for the freedom of other nations.”
Lech Walesa“We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.”
Lech Walesa“I most sincerely wish that the world in which we live be free from the threat of a nuclear holocaust and from the ruinous arms race. It is my cherished desire that peace be not separated from freedom which is the right of every nation. This I desire and for this I pray.”
Lech Walesa“Communism is a monopolistic system, economically and politically. The system suppresses individual initiative, and the 21st century is all about individualism and freedom. The development of technology supported these directions.”
Lech Walesa“The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I see it, is service to a fellow human being.”
Lech Walesa“Lying at the root of the social agreements of 1980 are the courage, sense of responsibility, and the solidarity of the working people. Both sides have then recognized that an accord must be reached if bloodshed is to be prevented.”
Lech Walesa“We were hoping Obama would reclaim moral leadership for America. That failed.”
