I've been called worse things by better people.

I will use all my strength to bring about a just society to a nation living in a tough world.

Who is it that said that 'you have not converted a man because you have silenced him?' This is true of the use of the military on people.

I believe a constitution can permit the co-existence of several cultures and ethnic groups with a single state.

I'm sometimes impatient with young people who demonstrate at my meetings and who don't want an argument, but who just want to go on television as having been there and made a fuss. This doesn't mean I don't believe in participatory democracy.

Obviously I prefer freedom, but I know, and I think all history has told us, that freedom cannot flow from anarchy and disorder.

Freedom can flow from order. That is not to say that freedom always flows from order because you can have a totalitarian order and you can have an undemocratic order from which freedom will not flow, but that surest way to destroy freedom is to have chaos.
