"Thirty years ago, we went out on the Baltic Way, and we regained our independence and freedom for everyone together with Estonia and Lithuania.

Our shared Baltic Way will never end. (Address given on the 30th anniversary of the Baltic Way at the Freedom Monument)"

"The ideal country does not exist, as progress would discontinue. A life without ideals would be individually miserable and politically useless. (Inaugural address given at the Saeima)"
