“Humor is the politeness of despair.”

“Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God.”

“To say yes, you have to sweat and roll up your sleeves and plunge both hands into life up to the elbows. It is easy to say no, even if saying no means death.”

“You are all like dogs, wanting to go out when you are in, and wanting to be in when you are out.”

“Things are beautiful if you love them.”

“Poor people have only God, and theabinieri, and the winter.”

“Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.”

“Public opinion is the last refuge of a politician without a policy.”

“The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.”

“Each of us has a day, some days, in our lives when we must decide to be a hero.”
