“Poor nations are hungry, and rich nations are proud; and pride and hunger will ever be at variance.”
Jonathan Swift
“To be or not to be that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them.”
William Shakespeare
“A poor nation, but with rich politicians, shows the exceptional care of the latter for the ruling people!”
Mariana Fulger
“The greatest value which guides us is tolerance. Don’t let divorce separate our country. We are not going to take it against no one. One unity we were, we are and such we will remain.”
Joseph Muscat
“I will respect what people will vote. People who fought for what they thought was right even though the majority was against them inspire me. In the past, the “minority” fought for women to gain their voting rights, for 18-year-olds to be able to vote, for those who wanted Malta to be independent, ruled by its own government, those who were against homosexuality listed as a crime. Even if alone, I will keep on fighting for the civil rights which our country needs to work on.”
“Less burdens, more qualitative work and planning the future is what family policy should be all about, and not standing against divorce, you all know my position: don’t let any party tell you what to do. It’s up to you and your conscience”
“We need a system of childcare centres that really works and that is affordable. Women on the minimum wage cannot afford childcare centres. Besides, we need more flexibility at the workplace. There needs to be a change in mentality, also with respect to responsibility sharing in the family. We would like to reignite the flame of feminism in society.””
