More quotes by Francois Hollande
Nothing was given to me, nothing was entrusted to me, nothing was assigned to me. Everything I have, I took by right.
Francois Hollande
We are near, very near, to an end to the eurozone crisis... The worst - in the sense of the fear of the eurozone breaking up - is over. But the best isn't there yet.
Francois Hollande
What is at stake is preserving our relations with the United States. They should not be changed because of what has happened. But trust has to be restored and reinforced.
Francois Hollande
If I become president, France will not continue with the same policies as under Nicolas Sarkozy - both in domestic policy and in foreign and European policy.
Francois Hollande
The British have been particularly shy about the issues of financial regulation, and attentive only to the interests of the City - hence their reluctance to see the introduction of a tax on financial transactions and tax harmonisation in Europe.
Francois Hollande
My real adversary has no name, no face, no party. It will never be elected, yet it governs - the adversary is the world of finance.
Francois Hollande
If we don't manage to find not just a compromise but a lasting peace agreement, we know perfectly well what the scenario will be. It has a name, it's called war.
Francois Hollande
Everyone says Francois Mitterrand had huge charisma. But before he was president they used to call him badly dressed, old, archaic and say he knew nothing about the economy until the day he was elected. It's called universal suffrage. When you're elected, you become the person that embodies France.
Francois Hollande
I'm not a lukewarm European. I know that the German-French friendship is indispensable, no matter who the countries' leaders are.
Francois Hollande
Each country has a soul, and France's soul is equality.
Francois Hollande
I gave myself an objective, to be the second president from Correze and finally to be the successor to Francois Mitterrand.
Francois Hollande
Mandela's message will never die. It will continue to inspire freedom fighters and give confidence to people who defend just causes and universal rights.
Francois Hollande
I won't wait until the end of my term to say I made mistakes at the beginning. That's too late. I will try to adopt the proper behaviour, if the French give me the chance, right from the start.
Francois Hollande
I think that France has not made it clear enough recently to our German friends how important it is to introduce euro bonds as a tool against speculation. And how the necessary budget discipline needs to be accompanied by growth.
Francois Hollande
There cannot be prosperity without security.
Francois Hollande
As a president I will be like the candidate that I am, a respectful candidate, a rallying candidate, a normal candidate for a normal presidency, at the service of the Republic.
Francois Hollande
We have chased away the clouds, the sky is all 'rose.'
Francois Hollande
We find ourselves in a difficult situation in Europe. There's a crisis, weak growth, unemployment... my duty is to ensure that by the end of my mandate France is in a better state than it was at the beginning.
Francois Hollande
Mitterrand had a sense for symbols, and he was the first Socialist president since 1958. He wanted to show that there is historical continuity, a connection with the great figures of French history.
Francois Hollande
No one imposes things on anyone in Europe. That's not my notion, nor is it my temperament. The EU has always functioned under the banner of respect, equilibrium and trust.
Francois Hollande
