" "
An unsteady nation has no friends. The German people seriously worry me. The only thing I can say for them is that they have lived through too much. They have not found peace of mind and stability since the war of 1914-18.

Additional quotes by Konrad Adenauer

I am a German, but I am also, and always have been, a European and have always felt like a European. I have therefore long advocated an understanding with France; I did so, moreover, in the 1920s, during the severest crises, and also in the face of the Reich Government.

Wir leben alle unter dem gleichen Himmel, aber wir haben nicht alle den gleichen Horizont.

Ich bin wie ich bin. Die einen kennen mich die anderen können mich.
