More quotes by Angela Merkel
To exclude groups of people because of their faith, this isn't worthy of the free state in which we live. It isn't compatible with our essential values. And its humanly reprehensible, xenophobia, racism, extremism have no place here. We are fighting to ensure that they don't have a place elsewhere either.
Angela Merkel
We have freedom to demonstrate in Germany, but there is no place for incitement and insulting people who come to us from other countries.
Angela Merkel
Freedom is the very essence of our economy and society. Without freedom the human mind is prevented from unleashing its creative force. But what is also clear is that this freedom does not stand alone. It is freedom in responsibility and freedom to exercise responsibility.
Angela Merkel
The euro is our common fate, and Europe is our common future.
Angela Merkel
I might bend, but I will NEVER break because it's in my nature as a strong woman.
Angela Merkel
If I run a time-limited test program, I'll never discover whether markets with additional employment truly exist. A solution in the low-wage sector cannot be a limited special program.
Angela Merkel
Spying among friends is never acceptable.
Angela Merkel
For a few years, more people have been leaving our country than entering it. Wherever it is possible, we must lower the entry hurdles for those who bring the country forward.
Angela Merkel
It will not be possible to solve the current crisis with euro bonds.
Angela Merkel
I think we live in a period of profound transformation. Very similar to when we had a transition from agricultural societies to industrial societies.
Angela Merkel
Politicians have to be committed to people in equal measures.
Angela Merkel
A good compromise is one where everybody makes a contribution.
Angela Merkel
Ever since Germany was able to regain its unity, it is in an even stronger position to give its contribution to upholding this order to which we feel committed and for which particularly people in the German Democratic Republic stood out there on the streets to keep this up, to maintain this order.
Angela Merkel
At the beginning of the 60's our country called the foreign workers to come to Germany and now they live in our country. We kidded ourselves a while, we said: 'They won't stay, sometime they will be gone.' But this isn't reality.
Angela Merkel
There's another point that I wanted to mention here, particularly the engagement and commitment to Africa. For us Europeans, Africa as a neighboring continent is of prime importance. The development of African countries is in our very own vested interest.
Angela Merkel
We're saying this to both countries: We want a two-state solution. We want a Jewish state of Israel and alongside an independent Palestinian state. Unilateral measures are not helping at all to bring about this cause, and we agree that we wish to cooperate very closely on this, because as we both say, time is of the essence.
Angela Merkel
It is actually a very good thing, if after eight years of coverage the president of the United States [Barack Obama] says that this is a cooperation based on friendship that we cooperated well.
Angela Merkel
The question is: Would there be a market in Germany for certain types of employment if one were to allow the employed person to earn less than is necessary to maintain his standard of living?
Angela Merkel
We all want to be honest and draw lessons from the past, the WHO is the only international organization that has universal political legitimacy on global health issues. This is why it's so important to render its structures more efficient.
Angela Merkel
It is nonsense to say that Germans are unable to change.
