One cannot have economic growth without security.

The U.S. - E.U. economic relationship dwarfs America's economic ties with China.

Proliferation of nuclear weapons to terrorist organisations is far more dangerous than proliferation of nuclear weapons to states, even states like North Korea.

The E.U. is the world's fastest growing democratic body.

When the E.U. and the U.S. agree, other countries follow.

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.

Financial service providers act as the lubricating oil in the economy. They link consumers who want to invest their savings for a good return with companies who want to borrow on best terms for expansion.

Since creation of the E.U. a half century ago, Europe has enjoyed the longest period of peace in its history.

Indeed, American companies make three times as much profits from their investment in one E.U. country, Ireland, than they do from all their investments in China.

European investment in Texas alone exceeds all U.S. investment in China and Japan put together.

We can demonstrate, by our own example, how E.U. freedoms, including the freedom of nationals of other E.U. countries to come and work here, has enabled us to expand our economy.

That's where my job comes in. Getting the E.U. and U.S. to agree.

The E.U. imports more agricultural goods from developing countries around the world than does the U.S., Canada and Japan, combined.

One cannot have economic growth without security.

Non-proliferation will only work if all states are willing to cooperate, and that will only happen if all feel they are being treated fairly.

But our system of regulation must keep up with this. If it fails to keep up, it will hold back economic expansion. We need financial market regulation that works at national and European level.

If the EU and the US can cooperate successfully on regulating financial markets, everyone else will follow.

The E.U. has moved to combat global terrorism by instituting common European arrest and evidence warrants and creating a joint situation center to pool and analyze intelligence.

Of course the EU and member states must work to ensure that people moving from one country to another understand their obligations and their rights in areas like health, road safety and further education.

A terrorist nuclear detonation in a western city would destroy all economic confidence.

States can be deterred by the fear of retaliation; non-state organisations cannot by deterred at all.

The EU and the U.S. often work together to develop international standards. This is the case in fighting terrorism and transnational crime, advancing trade liberalization, and combating piracy and intellectual property violations.

U.S. companies earn more from their investments in the EU than in the rest of the world combined.

The time horizon may be too long for sole reliance on market solutions - but perhaps the inventiveness of the financial services industry will prove me wrong that point!

U.S. companies rely on the European market for more than half of their global foreign profits.

The economy is not an abstraction. The economy consists of people, and it will only grow if people feel secure and are reasonably free.

The European Union is the world's most successful invention for advancing peace.

Ireland has a role to play in making the E.U. united and strong.

It is not viable for one country to demand a right to increase and upgrade its nuclear weapons capabilities while asking others to eliminate theirs.

The individual organs follow the same pattern as the whole organism, i.e. they have their period of growth, of stationary, maximum activity and then of aging decline.

I take great pride in having been able to overcome the Asian financial crisis and seeking the opportunities available to bring about an unprecedented growth in the economy.

Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.

Genius is not a possession of the limited few, but exists in some degree in everyone. Where there is natural growth, a full and free play of faculties, genius will manifest itself.

The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth.

Promoting job creation and economic growth in the Hudson Valley is one of my top priorities in Congress.

We will see the increasingly rapid rate of growth we've already been seeing in Colorado continue.

The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job.

We have stabilized our economy. We took over a very sick economy, and we were hemorrhaging 750,000 jobs a month. We have stopped the hemorrhaging. In fact, we had 140,000 job growth last month. And that's what I call progress.

We got to know the competition very well. In the '50s popcorn made a big growth in sales. Our main push was to produce the best quality and sell in quality retail outlets.

Happiness, contentment, the health and growth of the soul, depend, as men have proved over and over again, upon some simple issue, some single turning of the soul.

It's hard to find a way forward. When you're 18 it happens in huge chunks every day, but after 20 years, growth is much more costly.

I think that obstacles lead to growth and ultimately, the most learning I've done in my life is between jobs.

Well, WorldCom's growth exploded in the Clinton years, there's no question, there's no disputing that.

Growth is a painful process.

The organizational architecture is really that a centipede walks on hundred legs and one or two don't count. So if I lose one or two legs, the process will go on, the organization will go on, the growth will go on.

Modern techniques have torn down state frontiers, both economical and intellectual. The growth of means of transport has created a world market and an opportunity for division of labor embracing all the developed and most of the undeveloped states.

Technological innovation is indeed important to economic growth and the enhancement of human possibilities.

Research and development needs permanent tax credits to build the technology that spurs our growth. But no government programs alone can get America's students to study more science and math; parents must push and help their children to meet this goal.

Globalization presumes sustained economic growth. Otherwise, the process loses its economic benefits and political support.
