It's a Cyprus of misery and soup kitchens and a state which cannot meet basic obligations. It can only cause me grief.

Cyprus was a breath away from economic collapse. It was a big battle in which we came out wounded, but upright and determined to make a fresh start.

My government, a government of national unity, will make all necessary structural reforms.

The people of Cyprus have sent a strong message...of stability, credibility and change.

I was obliged to take tough, painful and bold decisions to ensure a manageable tomorrow.

I would like to thank the Cypriot people for their maturity and collectedness shown in their interactions with the Cypriot Banks.

Spiritual maturity is not defined by how well one applies Biblical principles to “suppress sin”. If you are capable of suppressing your sins or managing them, you would have no need for a Redeemer.

The curves of his smile become the waves in my ocean.

Money is just a way of keeping score.

The circumstances which a man encounters with suffering are the result of his own mental inharmony.

Why, I hold fate Clasped in my fist, and could command the course Of time's eternal motion, hadst thou been One thought more steady than an ebbing sea.

The best way to leave a legacy is to believe, teach, defend, and promote what is true.

Human dignity demands courage to defend oneself.

I have always said that we did not expect a revolution in the streets.

It is a pity that the words "spiritual life" were ever invented, for they have caused so much confusion. For, in truth, there is only life-everyday life-which is simply what is at every moment.

I've never been monogamous. It might happen, but it never has yet. I don't understand women, I'm off that kick.
