I want to take this opportunity to express, one more time, my deep sadness to those countrymen who feel, rightly, that they were victims of my government.

It is the destiny of the people of Haiti to suffer.

When people talk to me about tyranny, it makes me laugh and gives me the impression that people suffer from amnesia.

I am currently in Haiti to help the Haitian people in their reconstruction.

In 25 years of exile, I've never had a frozen account, either in Switzerland or elsewhere in the world.

I'm the one who initiated the democratic process.

I never had the financial means that the media said I had. I laugh when I hear the amounts, $400 million, $800 million. Where do they get this imagination?

All I know is politics. Really, politics takes up most of my time; it's nonstop.

There has not been one day since I left that I have not thought about Haiti.

The beauty of a bright new day!

Be loving to find the love.

In business 'professionalism' is not a tactic but a moral value.

If you're capable of despising your own behavior, you might just love yourself.

Live young. Live hard. Love deep.

I'll love you, dear, I'll love you till China and Africa meet and the river jumps over the mountain and the salmon sing in the street.

I find it more enjoyable investing time doing what pleases me, rather than wasting precious time attempting to please everyone else.

I think of how most people only get three weeks of vacation a year. And that, for me, seems like it would be really hard. My life feels like a vacation.

Prostitution is really the only crime in the penal law where two people are doing a thing mutually agreed upon and yet only one, the female partner, is subject to arrest.

Height has nothing to do with it, it is your strength that counts.
