“We know that our life of freedom is stronger than terror.” — Angela Merkel Quote

“We know that our life of freedom is stronger than terror.”

“We need... to say to people that this is a temporary residential status, and we expect that, once there is peace in Syria again, once IS has been defeated in Iraq, that you go back to your home country with the knowledge that you have gained.”

“That is why everyone in politics, and we do it, must make sure that they do not depend on one single interest group. A good compromise is one where everybody makes a contribution.”

“I would describe myself as a tallish, shy, middle-aged man who equally loves his work and his freedom. And a good liar!”

“Every man must have the right fearlessly to think independently and express his opinion about what he knows, what he has personally thought about and experienced, and not merely to express with slightly different variations the opinion which has been inculcated in him.”

“Freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law... are universal values of the human spirit.”
