“If we want a strong Germany, you must one day be strong, too. If we want a powerful Germany, you, too, must one day be powerful. If we want an honorable Germany, you must one day uphold this honor. If we want order in Germany, you must maintain this order. If we want to once again create a loyal Germany, you yourselves must learn to be loyal. You are the Germany of the future, and thus we want you to be what this Germany of the future must and will be.”

“We are not interested in suppressing other nations. We do not want to see other nations among us. We want to live our own life. … Germany and Poland are two nations, and these nations will live, and neither of them will be able to do away with the other. … We have assured all our immediate neighbours of the integrity of their territory as far as Germany is concerned. That is no hollow phrase: it is our sacred will. … The Sudetenland is the last territorial claim which I have to make in Europe. … I have assured Mr. Chamberlain, and I emphasize it now, that when this problem is solved Germany has no more territorial problems in Europe.”

Lech Wałęsa (1943) Polish politician, Nobel Peace Prize winner, former President of Poland

Wenn Deutschland noch einmal Europa destabilisiert dann wird Deutschland nicht mehr geteilt, sondern von der Landkarte gefegt werden. Ost und West haben die notwendige Technik, um dieses Verdikt auch vollstrecken zu können. Wenn Deutschland wieder anfängt, bleibt keine andere Lösung. - From the report of the German magazine DER SPIEGEL 15/1990 http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-13498691.html about an interview of Wałęsa by Dutch weekly Elsevier http://www.elsevier.nl/ of 7 April 1990, which was partially reprinted, with an additional Pancho caricature http://wissen.spiegel.de/wissen/image/show.html?did=13498691&aref=image036/2006/05/15/cq-sp199001502800280.pdf&thumb=false, by French Le Monde http://www.lemonde.fr/
