More quotes by Lech Walesa
Authority must be respected and chosen wisely.
Lech Walesa
I belong to the generation of workers who, born in the villages and hamlets of rural Poland, had the opportunity to acquire education and find employment in industry, becoming in the course conscious of their rights and importance in society.
Lech Walesa
If there were fish in the lake, fishing would make no sense.
Lech Walesa
We respect the dignity and the rights of every man and every nation. The path to a brighter future of the world leads through honest reconciliation of the conflicting interests and not through hatred and bloodshed. To follow that path means to enhance the moral power of the all-embracing idea of human solidarity.
Lech Walesa
I realize that the strivings of the Polish people gave rise, and still do so, to the feelings of understanding and solidarity all over the world.
Lech Walesa
I belong to a nation which over the past centuries has experienced many hardships and reverses. The world reacted with silence or with mere sympathy when Polish frontiers were crossed by invading armies and the sovereign state had to succumb to brutal force.
Lech Walesa
I believed it would succeed. It was Polish Solidarity and its victory that put an end to the old era when what mattered were borders and rival blocs.
Lech Walesa
The world needs leaders of vision instead of leaders on television.
Lech Walesa
This conviction brought me, in the summer of 1978, to the Free Trade Unions - formed by a group of courageous and dedicated people who came out in the defense of the workers' rights and dignity.
Lech Walesa
I believe that any violation of privacy is nothing good.
Lech Walesa
It all came from there, Lech Walesa said, pointing to a TV when a reporter asked him why communism fell.
Lech Walesa
You should go to the polls, organize yourself. But once lawmakers are chosen, they must be respected.
Lech Walesa
Democracy is made up of three elements. One is whether the laws support pluralistic principles. The second is whether the people take advantage of these laws. The third element is whether the peoples' wallets are thick enough to benefit from this democracy.
Lech Walesa
When I recall my own path of life I cannot but speak of the violence, hatred and lies. A lesson drawn from such experiences, however, was that we can effectively oppose violence only if we ourselves do not resort to it.
Lech Walesa
Let the veil of silence fall presently over what happened afterwards. Silence, too, can speak out.
Lech Walesa
My health is very much improved.
Lech Walesa
My youth passed at the time of the country's reconstruction from the ruins and ashes of the war in which my nation never bowed to the enemy paying the highest price in the struggle.
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
I only fear God, and my wife - sometimes.
Lech Walesa
Communism is a monopolistic system, economically and politically.
