I would like to see Greece as a case study, an opportunity for Europe to strengthen its coordination of fiscal policy.

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.

This is global governance in the making. But we must agree, and agree to a binding commitment.

Despite the deep reforms we are making, traders and speculators have forced interest rates on Greek bonds to record highs.

There are certain moments in the history of a nation when the choices made define the decades to come.

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.

See more than your eyes can see.Hear more than your ears can hear.Do more than your hands can do.Go further than your feet can go.

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.

You will never win if you never begin.

Not being funny doesn't make you a bad person. Not having a sense of humor does.

States are great engines moving slowly.

The first goal is for the clinician to find the patient, and the patient to find the clinician, as both are required for a real alliance.

It takes a person who is wide awake to make his dream come true.

In the 1970s we saw a massive shift of household savings from the banks to the brokerage firms.

It is silly to call fat people "gravitationally challenged", a self-righteous fetishism of language which is no more than a symptom of political frustration.

I love what I'm doing for a living.
