We all live in a free Poland, and there would be no free Poland without you, Twenty-five years ago, I did not stand on the same side together with you, but today I have no doubts that it was your vision of Poland which led us in the right direction.

Aleksander Kwasniewski

Poland, of course, was the key country. I remember Stalin telling me that the plains of Poland were the invasion route of Europe to Russia and always had been, and therefore he had to control Poland.

W. Averell Harriman

I've lost Poland. Without Poland, I go down. I've been thrown out; yet I love my country.

Marek Hlasko

Being part of the E.U. in Poland means that for the first time in a millennium, nobody disputes Poland's borders, and it brought a level of freedom that Poland has never known before.

Frans Timmermans

As a Jew, even if you were not born in Poland, the very name, Poland, gives rise to a shuddering in your body and a longing in your heart. This country was the breeding ground for the soul of the Jewish nation, and unfortunately, also grounds to the largest Jewish cemetery.

Reuven Rivlin

Poland and my roots are very important for me. That's why I decided to make a feature film in Poland, and with only Polish money.

Malgorzata Szumowska

My father emigrated from Poland and my mother from Romania. There was no affluence in my family.

Norman Braman

For two centuries, Poland suffered constant and brutal attacks. But while Poland could be invaded and occupied, and its borders even erased from the map, it could never be erased from history or from your hearts. In those dark days, you have lost your land but you never lost your pride.

Donald Trump

Those years when Poland was occupied by the Nazis was one of the darkest time in Poland's history.

Andrzej Duda

Poland is at the center of European civilization. It has contributed mightily to that civilization. It is doing so today by being magnificently unreconciled to oppression. Poland's struggle to be Poland and to secure the basic rights we often take for granted, demonstrates why we dare not take those rights for granted.

Ronald Reagan

Why should this war in the West be fought for the restoration of Poland? The Poland of the Versailles Treaty will never rise again.

Adolf Hitler

There are Jews who were born in Poland before World War II and survived the Holocaust, who think Poland and the Poles deserve an apology.

Andrzej Duda

Germany has concluded a Non-Aggression Pact with Poland. We shall adhere to it unconditionally. We recognize Poland as the home of a great and nationally conscious people.

Adolf Hitler

So I think that I can say, as the President of Poland, we're proud that I am coming from Poland, which is different and what's more important, much better than before.

Aleksander Kwasniewski

When you come from Poland, you have nothing. Your mother and father are working. You have only a bed for sleep. You have a kitchen, and that's it. You must fight.
