How can a parliamentarian or a leader in a country say, on the one hand, that we're going to support Greece but at the same time say that Greeks are lazy?

We have made major reforms in Greece. When I took over after a landslide victory we had a mandate for change and I knew my major focus would be re-organizing the state.

Unfortunately, corruption is widespread in government agencies and public enterprises.

I am proud of being a Greek of the diaspora.

The Greek people do not want to exit the euro, and I believe the Greek people already have shown that they have made major sacrifices to stay within the Eurozone.

Greece's history in the drachma was an up-and-down history, a roller coaster.

Everyone needs to carry out his own personal revolution.

I will always be upfront with the Greek people, so we can solve the country's problems together.

Everything in life is most fundamentally a gift. And you receive it best and you live it best by holding it with very open hands.

Joy takes away from us the thoughts of our actions; sorrow it is that awakens the soul.

God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.

Is uniformitarianism necessary?

Ethical and cultural desegregation. It is a contradiction in terms to scream race pride and equality while at the same time spurning Negro teachers and self-association.
