My problem is how to find the best way of being useful.

...within ten years 80% of our economic legislation, perhaps even fiscal and social as well' would come from the EU.

We will have to create an avant-garde.... We could have a Union for the enlarged Europe, and a Federation for the avant-garde.

The European model is in danger if we obliterate the principle of personal responsibility.

The European model is, first, a social and economic system founded on the role of the market, for no computer in the world can process information better than the market.

This weakening is worsened by the widening distance between the governed and their governments.

The unions may continue to decline, but if they do, it'll be their fault.

I cannot resign myself to the decline of Europe, and of France.

For me, socialism has always been about liberty and solidarity, but also about responsibility.

Cinema explains American society. It's like a Western, with good guys and bad guys, where the weak don't have a place.

The driving force behind the liberal counter-offensive in Europe has been a reaction against irresponsibility.

When you start to promise yourself, that means you are living!

Prayer is our voice

A man does not need encouragement to lose his heart.

The general idea of the rich helping the poor, I think, is important.

We are a water-drinking people, and we are allowing every brook to be defiled.

Today is a new day, so rise up and move forward into the victory God has prepared for you!

I remember in the early days when we played six nights a week for a month and I was doing my long drum solo every night. My hands were covered in blisters.

There is no other planning for freedom and general welfare than to let the market system work.

I believe that dignified work is a value in itself.

The human intellect has not been able to conceive of anything more noble and sublime in the history of the world than the teachings of the Upanishads.
