Ludwig Erhard quotes:

Without Britain, Europe would remain only a torso.

A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece.

It may be necessary to make compromises in everyday politics, but we cannot compromise with our conscience.

Competition is the most promising means to achieve and secure prosperity. It alone enables people in their role of consumer to gain from economic progress. It ensures that all advantages which result from higher productivity may eventually be enjoyed.
