Kelly Sue DeConnickOur international role depends on a strong Europe and a strong Europe depends on France's ability to share leadership with others, including Germany.

Robert JordanMy friends, ask gladness from God. Be glad as children, as birds in the sky.

There are a lot of interesting new things, ideas, pictures.

Frederick William RobertsonEach country has its own particular features, its own traditions that find their reflection today and will find it in future. There are such traditions in Russia but it is not a question of a strong figure, although a strong figure is needed in power, it is a question of what is implied by this term.

But if it is a fair leader, who acts within the law and in the interests of a vast majority of society, who acts coherently and is guided by principles, it is a completely different matter.
