"Berlusconi should choose people capable of saying no to him. And besides, he works too much. He invites me to long dinners at his house where we talk only about politics. But he should go to a trattoria, to chat, to watch people."
"Bondi is an offshoot of Berlusconi. In fact, Bondi is Berlusconi. Bondi is the boss at the disposal of the periphery. He listens to everyone."
"As long as the presiding judge is a colleague of the prosecutor—whom she might even marry—then I wonder if they hold their chambers in bed."
"Berlusconi has a very strong ego. But the party has faded without him."
"Forza Italia lacks internal debate. Because of a vision I call “leadercratic.”"
"Fede is grateful to Berlusconi because he never abandoned him. Berlusconi is good. He never abandons anyone."

"Fazio is the mellifluous leftist. His eyes look like two eggs in a frying pan."
"Gruber is a smug little saint."
"(About Valerio Zanone) The least liberal of them all. A liberal is humble. He is limited by his arrogance."
"(About Bruno Vespa) He is too accommodating. He doesn’t put his guests on the spot. He hosts well but with a loose rein. Everyone leaves satisfied and even reimbursed."
"He is a cheerful man, even a bit of a joker, prone to sudden outbursts of anger and just as quick to forget them. He served as a minister in both the First and Second Republics, as Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies, and as secretary of the PLI. When I was editor-in-chief of *Cuore*, he sued me, though neither of us remembers why. He is dogged by an undeserved reputation as a heavy drinker and a well-deserved one as a witticism-spinner."
"(About the Biondi decree) I had protested, saying that in matters of justice, one cannot legislate by decree. But Biondi, who partly shared my position, explained to me that Berlusconi, alarmed by the possibility of his brother Paolo’s arrest, had exerted enormous pressure to have such a measure passed. (2 February 1995)"

"When I retired a couple of years ago and decided to get certified teaching, I told myself that I would want to help our golfers here. I just want to inspire and motivate them and it’s time for me to give back teach them what I know. When I was going to turn pro and wanting someone to talk to about it, I really didn’t have anyone to go to, so I figured things out for myself."
"I’ve learned that it’s okay to evolve. Motherhood, work, friendships — they all shape you in different ways. What matters is that you keep growing, keep loving, and keep coming home to yourself."
"Motherhood doesn't come with a manual"
"True confidence is accepting your flaws, accepting yourself. We spend too much time comparing ourselves to others, hoping to be something we are not. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, when you start on focusing and accepting yours, that's when you'll truly succeed."

"Les Plaisirs de la Table, chez cette Nation heureuse, sont au rang des Plaisirs ordinaires & communs: tout le monde est accoutumé ici à faire bonne chére. Ils la font consister principalement dans leurs differens Poudins, dans les Guldenpepins, qui sont une excellente sorte de Pommes reinettes, dans les Huitres vertes, qui sont délicieuses, & dans le Bœuf roti, qui fait le grand plat, fur la Table du Roi, aussi bien que fur celle de l'Artisan; il n'est point rare de voir de ces piéces de Bœuf de vingt jusques à trente livres, & on en voit même de trentrente jusques à quarante: c'est comme le Signe de la Prospérité & de l'Abondance génerale des Anglois."
"Les Chiens de ce Païs sont, je crois, ce qu'il y a au monde de plus brave, &, si cela se peut dire, de moins fanfaron. Ils n'aboient, ni ne mordent personne; & se batent jusques à la Mort contre les Taureaux, contre qui on les fait battre, toûjours sans aboier & sans crier. Quelquefois on voit de ces Chiens, ayant la jambe caffée, se trainer pour retourner à la charge. On assure qu'il y en eut un, du tems du Roi Charles Second, qui tua un Lion, & que, d'expérience faite, ceux qui sont de bonne race se laissent couper les quatre jambes l'une après l'autre sans lâcher prise. Si j'osois, je dirois volontiers, qu'il y a de la conformité en bien des choses entre les Anglois & leurs Dogues. Les uns & les autres sont taciturnes, têtus, paresseux, ne pouvant suportër la Fatigue, nullement querelleux, mais intrépides, s'acharnant au Combat, paroissant insensibles aux Coups, & ne pouvant se séparer."
"As buds give rise by growth to fresh buds, and these, if vigorous, branch out and overtop on all sides many a feebler branch, so by generation I believe it has been with the great Tree of Life, which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth, and covers the surface with its ever branching and beautiful ramifications."
"Be favourable and gracious O Lord to this thy English Sion, behold in the bowels of thy mercy our Navy on Sea, guard, guide, protect and defend the right honourable the Lord high Admiral of England, the Vice-Admiral, with all honourable and worshipful personages, Captains, Masters, Officers, Sailors, and Soldiers now employed, whether on the Western or South Seas...let not furious storms, winds, or tempests hurt them, nor surging Seas harm them, let not Papists amaze them, nor foreign enemies fear them [i.e. make them afraid]: but thou Lord of hosts encourage their hearts, enable their hands, indue them with valour, grant them safely to return with glorious victory...Also O Lord we thy Servants humbly beseech thee, to bless and prosper not only our Sea causes, but also all our land service, her Majesty's most honourable General, Marshal, Captains, Officers, and English soldiers whatsoever, strengthen them with courage and manliness, that they may suppress the slights of Antichrist, with all the force and power of foreign enemies, and papistical practices, that dare presume to attempt any harm or hurt to her royal Majesty, their honours, her English people, or to this noble Realm of England."

"Music has always been my way of expressing freedom and connecting with people."
"Dance and performance are not just skills, they are a way of life."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
