The link between my experience as an entrepreneur and that of a politician is all in one word: freedom.

Only Napoleon did more than I have done. But I am definitely taller.

I tell you the truth: if I lived in a country where there was no day appointed for elections, I would become a revolutionary, if not a terrorist. And that is because I love liberty too much; without liberty a man is not a man. He has no dignity.

I am absolutely sure to be the most democratic man to ever become Prime Minister in Italy.

When asked if they would like to have sex with me, 30 per cent said, “Yes”, while the other 70 per cent replied, “What, again?”

Mussolini never killed anyone. Mussolini used to send people on vacation in internal exile.

We must be capable of speaking a language of peace, but not one of surrender.
