I know how the American people care for that democratic principle. They want to see their vote respected. As we in Haiti want to see the vote of the people respected.

The first time Haiti had free and fair democratic elections was 1990, when I was elected.

Peace in the head, peace in the stomach.

We have problems which will be addressed by Haitians.

We have not reached the consensus that to eat is a basic human right. This is an ethical crisis. This is a crisis of faith.

I respect religion and will respect any religion.

As we all know, many people remain buried under tons of rubble and debris, waiting to be rescued. When we think of their suffering, we feel deeply and profoundly that we should be there, in Haiti, with them, trying our best to prevent death.
