Konrad Adenauer Quotes


A German statesman who took his nation from the ruins of World War II to the most prosperous nation in Europe.
Konrad Hermann Joseph Adenauer was a German statesman who took his nation from the ruins of World War II to the most prosperous nation in Europe. He was the first chancellor (top official) of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG, called West Germany), 1949–63. He was the founder and leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), a coalition of Catholics and Protestants that since 1946 has dominated German politics most of the time. A devout Catholic, he belied his age as the oldest elected leader in world history by his intense work habits and his uncanny political instinct. He displayed a strong dedication to a broad vision of democracy, capitalism, and anti-Communism.

Here are some famous quotes by Konrad Adenauer.

The good Lord set definite limits on man's wisdom but set no limits on his stupidity - and that's just not fair.
