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.”
