It's not just in politics that you can be a servant of the people, you can do it in so many other ways.

The politicians think that I have not included enough of them; the nonpoliticians think that I have gone back to the old ways; and the mass public groups think I have forgotten them.

I salute the 51 congressmen who voted (for the impeachment complaints.) It's not over yet. There will always be hope.

All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride.

My biggest disappointment was, of course, the coup attempts, ... The economy was proceeding very well, but in 1989 we had the most serious coup attempt and ... many of the investors who were set to come here had to tell me that they chose to go to other countries because of the uncertainty brought about by (the coup attempt.) If that had not happened, I'm sure our economy would just be booming today.

The government cannot do everything all at once. It can't wave a magic wand and meet everyone's demands simultaneously.

I've reached a point in life where it's no longer necessary to try to impress. If they like me the way I am, that's good. If they don't, that's too bad.
