More quotes by Lech Walesa
I allowed myself to be taken in by the intellectuals. I believed too much in the Polish intellectuals and followed their advice.
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
This is the moment of your defeat you have just put in the last nails in the coffin of communism.

I believe that any violation of privacy is nothing good.
Lech Walesa
I am overjoyed that I do not need a heart transplant at this time.

Lech Walesa
One could always do more, faster and cleverer, but democracy has its own rhythm.
Lech Walesa
I have always been and will be an enemy of communism, but I love all people.
Lech Walesa
In many parts of the world the people are searching for a solution which would link the two basic values: peace and justice. The two are like bread and salt for mankind.
Lech Walesa
President Lech Kaczynski is not at all active in Poland and his image abroad leaves a lot to be desired.
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
Let the veil of silence fall presently over what happened afterwards. Silence, too, can speak out.
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
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
In myself I am nothing. It all comes from God and the Virgin Mary.
