A number of politicians, including those within your own party, believe Germans would be safer if the German military didn't insert itself into so many of the world's hot spots.

More quotes by Wolfgang Schauble
My job is not to predict everything that might happen in the future, but to address what we can do today.
Wolfgang Schauble
About three million Muslims live in the country, but we have no relationship to our diverse Muslim society, despite the fact that it's an established part of our larger society. We need to build a stronger foundation for the relationship between Muslims and the state.
Wolfgang Schauble
Greece's debts are all denominated in euros, but it isn't clear who holds how much of those debts. For that reason, the consequences of a national bankruptcy would be incalculable. Greece is just as systemically important as a major bank.
Wolfgang Schauble
In the EU, we agree that the pressures causing migration must be reduced.
Wolfgang Schauble
We were always faced with questions like: What about a religious community like Milli Görüs, which is represented by the Islamic Council? And what about the Central Council of Muslims? But we don't wish to exclude people from the start.
Wolfgang Schauble
As for the role of France and Germany: French politics is often more self-confident then German politics due to the catastrophe in the first half of the last century. If Berlin and Paris don't agree, then it is difficult to make progress in Europe.
Wolfgang Schauble
Our balanced budget has an important psychological function. It is a signal that we can't continue to constantly take on debt.
Wolfgang Schauble
It has been clear for some time now that we have to do more for domestic and external security. I am prepared for that.
Wolfgang Schauble
It's understandable that Europe's Muslims are in a difficult situation, which is partly their own doing and partly not.
Wolfgang Schauble
Europe has grown through crises. Each crisis also presents opportunities, and Europe has emerged stronger from each one. That is the way history unfolds. Europe is sometimes slow, and it reacts sluggishly, but it is capable of finding solutions.
Wolfgang Schauble
Emmanuel Macron wants to see changes in France and we support him in that. Macron has proven his courage by leading an election campaign friendly to Europe and reform against the majority opinion of the Socialist Party.
Wolfgang Schauble
We are facing a whole collection of crisis-like developments that we have to watch closely. But we also have to be careful what we point to as crisis indicators.
Wolfgang Schauble
The German export successes are not the result of some sort of currency manipulation, but of the increased competitiveness of companies. The American growth model, on the other hand, is in a deep crisis.
Wolfgang Schauble
I suggested that countries with tighter finances think about such a [fuel] tax. We don't have the time at the moment for months of discussion.
Wolfgang Schauble
If we want to avoid a clash of cultures - and the jury is still out on whether we can - we'll have to make different cultures and religions compatible with the universal nature of human rights and tolerance. But I can promise you this: Anyone who calls me an infidel at the conference will be in for a fight.
Wolfgang Schauble
We in Europe need to discuss how we can improve the community. That is the correct order.
Wolfgang Schauble
Treaties exist so that they will be adhered to. It only serves to strengthen euroskepticism when we constantly make promises and reach agreements that we do not adhere to.
Wolfgang Schauble
I don't want to interpret the pope's words, especially as I am one of those horrible people who fell away from the Roman church after Martin Luther.
Wolfgang Schauble
I think we will have to spend more on defense, for infrastructure, for extension of the broadband network and also for domestic security.
Wolfgang Schauble
Emmanuel Macron wants a stronger Europe, just as the chancellor and I do. I was impressed that the new president climbed onto the stage in front of the Louvre to the sound of the European anthem after his election victory. That was a very powerful symbol. It is very clear: Macron is our ally.
Wolfgang Schauble
