I will never tire from repeating my commitment to ensuring that every Brazilian can have breakfast, lunch and supper every day.

All countries have problems with China's economic power.

I am the son of an illiterate father and mother.

If with so little we have done so much in Brazil, imagine what could have been done on a global scale, if the fight against hunger and poverty were a real priority for the international community.

I don't need arms, and neither does anyone else... At the very least, a ban would prevent fights from turning deadly.

Brazil has rediscovered itself, and this rediscovery is being expressed in its people's enthusiasm and their desire to mobilize to face the huge problems that lie ahead of us.

I know how to move between political camps. When everyone in the world hated (Libyan leader Moammar) Gadhafi, I paid him an official visit. It caused an uproar - Lula's visiting the devil!
