Poland is quite a mediocre country in some regards. The only natural resource that we have, and with which we can compete, is freedom.

I got into politics a little bit by chance, as a person from the first generation of the Solidarity movement.

Poles must understand history but we must also overcome it if it is obstructing our contemporary goals.

We must go beyond being reactive and defensive. As Europeans we must regain our self-confidence and realize our own strengths.

My Kashubian family, like the Jews, are people who were born and live in border areas and were suspected by the Nazis and by the Communists of being disloyal.

The strategic partnership between the European Union and the United States is rooted in our shared values of freedom, human rights, democracy and a belief in the market economy.

Im plain incapable of getting angry with Angela Merkel and likewise.
