We will take care of every single person in our society. That is our task.
Angela Merkel
Image
The Freedom Bell in Berlin is, like the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, a symbol which reminds us that freedom does not come about of itself. It must be struggled for and then defended anew every day of our lives.
Angela Merkel
Image
Europe can only hold together and stand together, which is very important in times of migration challenges, terrorism challenges, if each country takes responsibility for itself.
Angela Merkel
Image
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
Image
I think we can say our energy system will be the most efficient and environmentally friendly in the world.
Angela Merkel
Image
Information obtained under dubious circumstances cannot play a role in legal proceedings in a constitutional state. But everything that's available must be taken into account in threat prevention.
Angela Merkel
Image
Ladies, it is not your education, status or personality that has brought you here but the elegance of God which was still and still working upon you.
Angela Merkel
Image
We have very stable mechanisms of conflict resolution in terms of labor relations, we have a very good transportation infrastructure, we provide our children with an excellent education and the gap between rich and poor in Germany is relatively narrow. On the other hand, we have trouble accepting change.
Angela Merkel
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I said, yet again, for Germany, Europe is not only indispensable, it is part and parcel of our identity. We've always said German unity, European unity and integration, that's two parts of one and the same coin. But we want, obviously, to boost our competitiveness.
Angela Merkel
Image
Don't get bitter and twisted and nasty by life. You may have been wronged or cheated on two wrongs never make a right. Instead learn your mistakes and learn your lessons. Remain strong with your head held high.
Angela Merkel
Image
We cannot allow employers in Germany to pay hourly wages of 50 cents and shift the remainder of the burden to the taxpayer. After all, we want to create jobs, not open a self-service shop for resourceful employers.
Angela Merkel
Image
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Angela Merkel
Image
Particularly from a German perspective, from a European perspective, I can only say again, Russia is our neighbor.
Angela Merkel
Image
There's a rumour going around that states cannot go bankrupt. This rumour is not true.
Angela Merkel
Image
I think that the EU with the Lisbon agenda has put the right emphasis on growth and employment.
Angela Merkel
Image
The plurality of German campaign formats, including the televised debates, reflect that we in Germany don't directly vote for a person like in the United States or in France, but for parties. We have a different system.
Angela Merkel
Image
Overcoming the Cold War required courage from the people of Central and Eastern Europe and what was then the German Democratic Republic, but it also required the steadfastness of Western partner over many decades when many had long lost hope of integration of the two Germanys and Europe.
