I do not like carving the world into segments; we are one world.

All my games were political games; I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake.

We have to prove to the disinherited majority of the world that ecology and conservation will not work against their interest but will bring an improvement in their lives.

Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.

Winning or losing of the election is less important than strengthening the country.

I'm certainly not a workaholic.
