Lech Walesa

I am a simple worker. I do not understand these complicated things.

I have to be the first, the best, the strongest. Otherwise, someone else will be.

I'm not a man of compromise. I'm a man of victory.

I regret that I did not finish my studies. If I had, I would have ruled the world.

I am not a saint. I am a normal man with sins.

The only thing I ever wanted was to be free. And to make Poland free.

I will not allow anyone to rewrite history.

The time of words is over. Now is the time of deeds.

I am a realist. I know that you cannot change everything overnight.

I have never sought power. Power sought me.

I am a man of the people. I speak for the people.

I am ready to die for Poland.

I do not need advisors. I know what is best for Poland.

Poland needs a strong hand.

I am not a politician. I am a revolutionary.

I will never shake hands with a communist.

The world needs more electricians, not more politicians.

I am a man of faith. I believe in God and in Poland.

My biggest mistake was that I trusted too many people.

I am not afraid of the truth. The truth will set us free.
