“Do not discuss God and virtue. Do not discuss the homeland and its history. Do not discuss the authority and prestige. Do not discuss the family and its moral. Not discuss the glory of work and their duty.”

“In politics, what appears is.”

“State is the nation socially organized.”

“There are no eternal regimes, there are no perfect regimes, there are no universial regimes. There are no eternal regimes, but there are stable and unstable regimes; there are no perfet regimes, but there are those that render their nations a service and those that render a disservice; there are no universal regimes, but there are those that take into consideration, and those that ignore, the particular circumstances and the universality of the human factor.”

“All for the nation, nothing against the nation.”

“Who is not patriotic can not be considered Portuguese.”
