Peace must be more than the absence of war.

I have been underestimated for decades. I've done very well that way.

George Bush was for me the most important ally on the road to German unity.

Simon Wiesenthal, like few others personally felt the shadow of history in its brutality.

Everybody should know that Germany will not go it alone: there will be no restless Reich.

Russia is Germany's most important neighbor in the East, and it will remain so.

Peace must be more than the absence of war.
