"The U.S. – E.U. economic relationship dwarfs America’s economic ties with China." ― John Bruton Topic(s): Relationship More From John Bruton "Since creation of the E.U. a half century ago, Europe has enjoyed the longest period of peace in its history." "The European Union is the world’s most successful invention for advancing peace." "The E.U. is more than just a trade organization or a common market; it is a guarantee of democracy, freedom, justice, and human rights. Nations cannot stay in the E.U. if they do not respect these guarantees." More In Relationship "I feel like the people from Iceland have a different relationship with their country than other places. Most Icelandic people are really proud to be from there, and we don’t have embarrassments like World War II where we were cruel to other people."― Bjork "The value of government to the people it serves is in direct relationship to the interest citizens themselves display in the affairs of state."― William Scranton "Then there is the further question of what is the relationship of thinking to reality. As careful attention shows, thought itself is in an actual process of movement."― David Bohm
