It’s better to be passionate about beautiful women than gay men.

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.

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

I don't need to go into office for the power. I have houses all over the world, stupendous boats... beautiful airplanes, a beautiful wife, a beautiful family... I am making a sacrifice.

By definition, as a Prime Minister I cannot be a liar.

In Italy, I am almost seen as German for my workaholism. Also I am from Milan, the city where people work the hardest. Work, work, work - I am almost German.

In absolute terms, I am the most legally persecuted man of all times, in the whole history of mankind, worldwide.
