We have to give ourselves a constitution which marks the birth of Europe as a political entity.

I am not a newcomer, you know, so I want to be judged for what I did when I was prime minister last time in Italy and president of the European Commission for more than five years.

We must now face the difficult task of moving towards a single economy, a single political entity .. For the first time since the fall of the Roman Empire we have the opportunity to unite Europe.

Democracies must have equilibrium... and the entanglement of politics and information must be minimized.

Are we all clear that we want to build something that can aspire to be a world power - not just a trading bloc, but a political entity?

Foreign policy can mean several things, not only foreign policy in the narrow sense. It can cover foreign policy, relations with the developing world, and enlargement as well.

But Italy can only have any real influence on world affairs if it carries weight in Europe.

At a certain point, if you work really hard and you get good and people like your work, you do deserve the fame - but you shouldn't take it for granted.

In the winter you may want the summer; in the summer, you may want the autumn; in the autumn, you may want the winter; but only in the spring you dream and want no other season but the spring!

If there were any people safe to criticize, they'd be politicians and child molesters, doncha think?

Knowledge is the antidote to fear
