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
The full veil is not appropriate for Germans, and should be banned wherever legally possible.
Angela Merkel
This multicultural approach, saying that we simply live side by side and live happily with each other has failed. Utterly failed.
Angela Merkel
At this time - we're in a dramatic crisis - euro bonds are precisely the wrong answer. They lead us into a debt union, not a stability union. Each country has to take its own steps to reduce its debt.
Angela Merkel
Everyone wants a more simple tax system. But if this means that certain tax breaks have to be cut, people are no longer so enthusiastic.
Angela Merkel
Democracy must be our answer to terrorism
Angela Merkel
On Russia, I can only repeat what the president [Barack Obama] said. This is all about respecting certain principles, and I'm saying this from a European vantage point, from a European, from a German vantage point, sorry, the fact that for over 70 years we have been able to enjoy peace.
Angela Merkel
I think that the EU with the Lisbon agenda has put the right emphasis on growth and employment.
Angela Merkel
Freedom does not mean being free of something, but to be free to do something.
Angela Merkel
In Europe it is particularly important that we build good relations to everyone who holds political responsibility because Europe can only be build together.
Angela Merkel
It is a fact that, if I single out Germany, our rate of growth is too low and we have very high unemployment.
Angela Merkel
Only our own strength, a strong conservative party, can prevent Red-Red-Green from taking power at the federal level in 2017.
Angela Merkel
An institution like Guantanamo in its present form cannot and must not exist in the long term. We must find different ways of dealing with prisoners. As far as I'm concerned there's no question about that.
Angela Merkel
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
It certainly is dangerous that there are only a few clubs left in Europe that can afford to pay millions. At the end of the day however, the spectators decide the rates of pay - by watching the games and consuming the goods and services advertised on sports TV programmes.
Angela Merkel
The problem is, of course, that these interest groups are all asking for changes, but their enthusiasm for change rapidly disappears when it affects the core of their own interests.
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
Spying among friends is never acceptable.
Angela Merkel
If I may, to underline first of all that I am very much impressed that in spite of the very tough election campaign, this transition period in the United States of America follows democratic principles and is all about the American people. It's about the destiny of the American people.
Angela Merkel
Just look at Poland, a sort of European perspective this has. So we have an interest in seeing this relationship be a good one. We have a lot of historical ties of course, a history that we share. But this mustn't keep us from wherever we feel there are very grave differences of opinion to raise them with them.
Angela Merkel
