Politics, when it is an art and a service, not an exploitation, is about acting for an ideal through realities.

Yes, it is Europe, from the Atlantic to the Urals, it is Europe, it is the whole of Europe, that will decide the fate of the world.

Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word.

I have against me the bourgeois, the military and the diplomats, and for me, only the people who take the Métro.

No country without an atom bomb could properly consider itself independent.

In politics it is necessary either to betray one's country or the electorate. I prefer to betray the electorate.

It is better to have a bad method than to have none.
