My moral and spiritual formation does not allow me to be a dictator... If I were a dictator, You can be sure that many things have happened.

I'm not someone who usually sends out threats. I warn only once. The day they touch one of my men, the rule of law is over.

Everything I did, all my actions, all of the problems I had I dedicate to God and to Chile, because I kept Chile from becoming Communist.

Not a single leaf moves in this country if I'm not the one moving it.

We have no political prisons. We have political internal exiles.

Executive power is exercised by the President of the Governing Board who, with the title of President of the Republic of Chile, administers the state and is the Supreme Chief of the Nation.

I will die. The person who succeeds me will also have to die. But elections, you won't have.
