The risk of a terrorist victory is greater when in fighting terror, democracy betrays its own essence.

I said when I came into office that I don't want to be a great leader; I want to be a good democrat.

The corporations and the media don't need power; they already have it.

No Spanish government has given into terror and no government will do that.

Spaniards have always shown great maturity and great common sense when it comes to voting.

Please receive in the name of the Spanish government and the people of Spain our warmest congratulations for your election as Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church and my best wishes for the Papacy which you begin today. [to Pope Benedict XVI]
