“Ta zjednoczona Europa nie jest skierowana przeciw komukolwiek; nie ma żadnego zamiaru agresji, żadnych oznak egoizmu lub imperializmu, ani w swym łonie, ani wobec innych krajów. Pozostaje dostępna dla każdego, kto będzie chciał do niej przystąpić. Jej racja bytu jest solidarność i współpraca międzynarodowa, rozumne organizowanie świata, w którym będzie musiała stanowić istotną część.”

“Ta idea – Europa – ujawni wszystkim wspólne podstawy naszej cywilizacji i stworzy stopniowo więź podobną tej, która jeszcze niedawno była udziałem ojczyzn. Będzie ona siłą, w zderzeniu z którą runą wszystkie przeszkody.”

“Po dwóch wojnach światowych uznaliśmy w końcu, że najlepszym zabezpieczeniem dla narodu nie jest ani izolacja, ani własna siła, jakakolwiek by była jego potęga, lecz solidarność narodów, którymi kieruje ten sam duch i które we wspólnym interesie akceptują wspólne zadania.”

“Patriotyzm, to szlachetne uczucie, które formowało narody, które im wyznaczało i pozwoliło realizować wspaniałe dzieła, często zbaczał z drogi, przeradzał się w zwyrodniały fanatyzm i w ten sposób stał się źródłem niepewności i bratobójczych konfliktów.”

“Oby ta idea pojednanej, zjednoczonej i silnej Europy stała się odtąd hasłem młodych pokoleń, pragnących służyć wyzwolonej wreszcie od nienawiści i lęku ludzkości, która uczy się na nowo, po zbyt długo trwających konfliktach i rozdarciach, chrześcijańskiego braterstwa.”
