The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith: "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest."

Speech of Robert Schuman: "Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity."

Jean Monnet's Memoirs: "There will be no peace in Europe if states are reconstituted on the basis of national sovereignty. The countries of Europe are too small to guarantee their peoples the necessary prosperity and social development of supranationalism and the importance of European integration."

"1984" by George Orwell: "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength."

Magna Carta: "No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land."

"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu: "Appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected."
