The principal achievement of Europe is peace, which we often forget about as it has become so taken for granted by Europeans.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The European Union is the world's most successful invention for advancing peace.
In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.
We have a huge responsibility to make sure that Europe remains a prosperous and peaceful continent.
In Europe it is particularly important that we build good relations to everyone who holds political responsibility because Europe can only be build together.
Peace in Europe can only come through union in one economic system. The United States of Europe are overdue.
In my opinion, if we have not achieved peace, it is because people forget its most fundamental aspect. Before we talk about peace among nations, we must settle our peace with God.
The idea that the EU is somehow the guarantor of peace on the continent - that is in itself rash, in my view, and risks undermining the vital role of Nato.
Europe has to address people's needs directly and reflect their priorities, not our own preoccupations.
Since creation of the E.U. a half century ago, Europe has enjoyed the longest period of peace in its history.
I am quite sure that from America will come the greatest help for the cause of peace, and I consider it my duty to inform the people of Europe as to the feelings and intentions of the friends of peace in Europe.
