Giulio Andreotti

You sin in thinking bad about people - but, often, you guess right.

Power wears out those who don't have it.

Gladio had been necessary during the days of the Cold War but, in view of the collapse of the East Block, Italy would suggest to Nato that the organisation was no longer necessary.

Power tires only those who do not have it.

I recognize my limits but when I look around I realise I am not living exactly in a world of giants.
