Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties. And not to Democrats alone do i make this appeal, but to all who love these great and true principles.
Any people anywhere being inclined and having the power have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right, a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can may revolutionize and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit.
Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.
Being honest in a place where honesty isn't prized is hard but in a place where it's punished it's practically impossible.
Communists could do anything. Their adversaries could do all the rest.
Politics is a very hard art amongst the hard because works with untouchable matter, more fluctuating, more uncertain. Politics works on men's spirits, that are entities even harder to define, because they're changeable. Very changeable is the Italian spirit. When I'll cease to be, I'm sure historians, and psychologists will wonder how a man managed to trail behind himself for twenty years a nation such as the Italian one. If I hadn't done anything else you'd only need this work of art to not be buried in nothingness.
We must give the example of attachment to democratical institutions and especially the example of honesty and of rectitude. Because the Italian nation has a thirst of honesty. On this point we must be uncompromising firstly towards ourselves, if we want to be it towards others. Let's not forget, honourable colleagues, that corruption of liberty's enemy.
Living room politics is ended. Once people said: government is a thief. Now they say the name of the thief, the name of the party and what it has stolen.
The reports recount that when the news of the murder of Walter Tobagi has reached in court, the member of the Red Brigades Corrado Alunni has received it with a sneer of joy. We have always fought death penalty on the requirement that the man does not have the right to kill the man. We confirm the requirement. What we begin to doubt is that the Pupils and those like him are men. The hyenas sneer on corpses.
POLITICS, n. A strike of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantages.
