There is nothing inevitable about rising unemployment.

A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.

There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it.

I like Mr Gorbachev, we can do business together.

Many of our troubles are due to the fact that our people turn to politicians for everything.

We believe in a free Europe, not a standardised Europe. Diminish that variety within the member states, and you impoverish the whole Community. We insist that the institutions of the European Community are managed so that they increase the liberty of the individual throughout the continent. These institutions must not be permitted to dwindle into bureaucracy. Whenever they fail to enlarge freedom the institutions should be criticised and the balance restored.

We must remember our duty to Nature before it is too late. That duty is constant. It is never completed. It lives on as we breathe. It endures as we eat and sleep, work and rest, as we are born and as we pass away. The duty to Nature will remain long after our own endeavors have brought peace to the Middle East. It will weigh on our shoulders for as long as we wish to dwell on a living and thriving planet, and hand it on to our children and theirs.
