I think that the proposed constitution is one of the European legal documents with the strongest social dimension I have seen since I began following European issues.

There have been major disagreements within the European Union.

We must stress that the euro has been beneficial to the European Union because, otherwise, in this context of international turmoil, every country would have to devalue their currencies.

Let them be reassured, it has never been one of our intentions to ban religion in society, but solely to protect the national education system from any conspicuous display of religious affiliation.

We shall say clearly that any symbol conspicuously displaying religious affiliation in school is prohibited.

I was a Member of the European Parliament for a period of time and I saw a lot of European laws and treaties.

But the Republic has its rules and it must not tolerate any abuse of them.

The United States, for a French citizen, is a friend, an ally, to whom we owe, along with most Europeans, our freedom.

Seriously, I ‘ve got to know if I need to protect you from people running with pencils." ~ Laney

I want to declare to you today: Jesus died to make you holy. It is possible for you to live a life without bondage to sin.

There is a definite moment when a work congeals and crystallizes. Once I am finished with a painting, I am happy to send it off into the world so I can get to work on the next one.

I see not any road of perfect peace which a man can walk but after the counsel of his own bosom.

It's different if you're a painter. You can hidethe ones that don't work. You can't do that with movies. They tellthe story of who you are at the time, and that's the wonderful thingabout it.
