To follow that path means to enhance the moral power of the all-embracing idea of human solidarity.
Lech Walesa
My most ardent desire is that my country will recapture its historic opportunity for a peaceful evolution and that Poland will prove to the world that even the most complex situations can be solved by a dialogue and not by force.
Lech Walesa
Without a single shot we've managed to liberate the world of communism but now there is a need for a global solidarity.
Lech Walesa
There is something of the warrior in me.
Lech Walesa

Lech Walesa
Words are plentiful deeds are precious.
Lech Walesa
My country is in the grips of a major economic crisis. This is causing dramatic consequences for the very existence of Polish families. A permanent economic crisis in Poland may also have serious repercussions for Europe. Thus, Poland ought to be helped and deserves help.
