Vaclav Havel Quotes
A state that denies its citizens their basic rights becomes a danger to its neighbors as well: internal arbitrary rule will be reflected in arbitrary external relations.

A state that does not hesitate to lie to its own people will not hesitate to lie to other states.Vaclav Havel
