Berlusconi's Memorable Quotes
Updated: 3:46pm UK, Friday 26 October 2012
Some see Silvio Berlusconi as a man with a great sense of humour - others say he has illusions of grandeur. Here are some of his most memorable quotes from recent years...
:: He once compared himself to Jesus Christ. "I am the Jesus Christ of politics," he apparently told supporters in Rome. Why? Because "I am a patient victim, I put up with everyone, I sacrifice myself for everyone".
:: Berlusconi is on record as saying only Napoleon has surpassed him as a leader. He said of the French emperor: "Only Napoleon did more," he said. But there was one difference... "I am definitely taller," he quipped.
:: In 2005 the then-66-year-old told The Spectator magazine: "Mussolini never killed anyone. Mussolini sent people on holiday in (internal) confinement." When asked if he thought the WWII dictator was "benign" Berlusconi said: "Yes."
:: While standing for re-election a few years ago, he promised to give up sex for a while. "Thank you dear Father Massimiliano," he told a TV preacher who praised him for defending family values. "I'll try not to let you down and I promise you two-and-a-half months of complete sexual abstinence."
:: His sexual innuendoes have often got him into hot water... "Rasmussen is not only a great colleague, he's also the best-looking prime minister in Europe," Berlusconi said of his Danish counterpart, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, in 2002. "He's so good looking, I'm even thinking of introducing him to my wife," he added, referring to press speculation that his wife was having an affair.
:: During an appearance at his corruption trial in Milan in June 2003, he said: "One citizen is equal to another (in the eyes of the law) but perhaps this one is slightly more equal than the others, given that 50% of Italians have given him the responsibility of governing the country."
:: In December 2002 the media tycoon encouraged laid-off Fiat workers to find employment on the black market, saying: "The most keen can certainly find a second job, maybe unofficial."
