Lech Walesa World Quotations

I hope to work harder than ever to help people around the world.

As a nation we have the right to decide our own affairs, to mould our own future. This does not pose any danger to anybody. Our nation is fully aware of the responsibility for its own fate in the complicated situation of the contemporary world.

For now, capitalism is working to produce more money but does not see the people. This problem is getting worse across the world.

The United States is only one superpower. Today they lead the world. Nobody has doubts about it. Militarily. They also lead economically but they're getting weak. But they don't lead morally and politically anymore. The world has no leadership. The United States was always the last resort and hope for all other nations. There was the hope, whenever something was going wrong, one could count on the United States. Today, we lost that hope.

Without a single shot we've managed to liberate the world of communism but now there is a need for a global solidarity.

We must be courageous but also reasonable. The world admires us for walking a tightrope without falling off. It asks us to keep our balance.

The world needs leaders of vision instead of leaders on television.
