The more I see, hear, and think in Europe, the more I wish for every measure that can ensure to the United States dignity, power, and public confidence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My obligation, if I become president, is to give another direction to Europe than the one that is being forced upon us today.
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.
We need to restore democracy and sovereignty in Europe.
May the States be so bound to each other as forever to defy European politics. Upon that union, their consequence, their happiness, will depend. This is the first wish of a heart more truly American than words can express.
The affairs of America I shall ever look upon as my first business whilst I am in Europe. Any confidence from the king and ministers, any popularity I may have among my own countrymen, any means in my power, shall be, to the best of my skill, and till the end of my life, exerted in behalf of an interest I have so much at heart.
Europe has to address people's needs directly and reflect their priorities, not our own preoccupations.
To avoid the trap of Europe fragmenting on the economy, security, and identity, we have to return to the original promises of the European project: peace, prosperity and freedom. We should have a real, adult, democratic debate about the Europe we want.
We have a huge responsibility to make sure that Europe remains a prosperous and peaceful continent.
Europe has a lot of strength. We need to pool that strength, and I am very much in favour of that - more of a deeper political union.
It's my damn duty and obligation to do everything possible for Europe to find a united path.
