If I, taking care of everyone's interests, also take care of my own, you can't talk about a conflict of interest.

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

I'm 74 years old and even though I may be a bit of a rascal, 33 girls in two months seems to me too much even for a 30-year-old.

Because of my personal history, my professional skills and my business achievements, I am a man nobody can expect to compare himself with.

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.
