Apakah Kelemahan kita: Kelemahan kita ialah, kita kurang percaya diri kita sebagai bangsa, sehingga kita menjadi bangsa penjiplak luar negeri, kurang mempercayai satu sama lain, padahal kita ini asalnya adalah Rakyat Gotong Royong
Pidato HUT Proklamasi, 1966 Bung Karno)\

Adakah Lenin ketika dia mendirikan negara Soviet Rusia merdeka telah mempunyai Dnepprprostoff, dan yang maha besar di sungai Dneppr? Apa ia telah mempunyai radio station yang menyundul ke angkasa? Apa ia telah mempunyai kereta-kereta api cukup untuk meliputi seluruh negara Rusia? Apakah tiap-tiap orang Rusia pada waktu Lenin mendirikan Soviet-Rusia merdeka telah dapat membaca dan menulis? Tidak, Tuan-tuan yang terhormat!

Indonesia merdeka, political independence, politieke onafhankelijkheid, tidak lain dan tidak bukan ialah satu jembatan!

Manakala sesuatu bangsa telah sanggup mempertahankan negerinya dengan darahnya sendiri, dengan dagingnya sendiri, pada saat itu bangsa itu telah masak untuk kemerdekaan. Kalau bangsa kita, Indonesia, walaupun dengan bambu runcing, Saudara-saudara, semua siap sedia mati mempertahankan tanah air kita Indonesia, pada saat itu bangsa Indonesia adalah siap sedia, masak untuk merdeka.

Jika tiap-tiap orang Indonesia yang 70 milyun ini lebih dahulu harus merdeka di dalam hatinya, sebelum kita mencapai political independence, saya ulangi lagi, sampai lebur kiamat kita belum dapat Indonesia merdeka! Di dalam Indonesia merdeka itulah kita memerdekakan rakyat kita! Di dalam Indonesia merdeka itulah kita memerdekakan hatinya bangsa kita! Di dalam Saudi Arabia merdeka, Ibn Saud memerdekakan rakyat Arabia satu per satu. Di dalam Soviet-Rusia merdeka Stalin memerdekakan hati bangsa Soviet-Rusia satu per satu.

Kalau kita mencari demokrasi hendaknya bukan demokrasi barat, tetapi permusyawaratan yang memberi hdup, yakni politik economische democratie yang mampu mendatangkan kesejahteraan sosial! Rakyat Indonesia sudah lama bicara tentang hal ini. Apakah yang dimaksud dengan Ratu Adil? Yang dimaksud dengan faham Ratu Adil ialah social rechtvaardigheid. Rakyat ingin sejahtera. Rakyat yang tadinya merasa dirinya kurang makan kurang pakaian, menciptakan dunia baru yang di dalmnya ada keadilan, di bawah pimpinan Ratu-Adil.

Jikalau pada suatu hari Ki Bagoes Hadikoesoemo misalnya, menjadi Kepala Negara Indonesia, dan mangkat, meninggal dunia, jangan anaknya Ki Hadikoesoemo dengan sendirinya, dengan otomatis menjadi pengganti Ki Hadikoesoemo. Maka oleh karena itu saya tidak mufakat kepada prinsip monarki itu.

Perjuanganku lebih mudah karena mengusir penjajah, tapi perjuanganmu akan lebih sulit karena melawan bangsamu sendiri.
Soekarno

Bangsa yang tidak percaya kepada kekuatan dirinya sebagai suatu bangsa, tidak dapat berdiri sebagai suatu bangsa yang merdeka.

Sir Alex Ferguson Quotes

On Ryan Giggs "I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cocker spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind."
On Gary Neville "If he was an inch taller he'd be the best centre-half in Britain. His father is 6ft 2in – I'd check the milkman."
On Paul Ince "I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb Everest in his slippers. That's what he was like."
On Italians "When an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate I check under the sauce to make sure. They are the inventors of the smokescreen."
On the 1999 Champions League triumph "I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell."
On media criticism of Juan Sebastián Verón "On you go. I'm no fucking talking to you. He's a fucking great player. Yous are fucking idiots."
On Liverpool "My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their fucking perch. And you can print that."
On the 2003 title race "It's getting tickly now – squeaky-bum time, I call it."
On kicking a boot into David Beckham's face in 2003 "It was a freakish incident. If I tried it 100 or a million times it couldn't happen again. If I could I would have carried on playing!"
On Filippo Inzaghi "That lad must have been born offside."
On Arsène Wenger "They say he's an intelligent man, right? Speaks five languages. I've got a 15-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages!"
On his former charges as managers "It can be difficult to pinpoint who would make it as a manager. For instance, nobody here thought Mark Hughes would become a manager, never in a million years, and we all thought Bryan Robson was a certainty to be a top manager."
On the referee Alan Wiley "The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit. He was taking 30 seconds to book a player. He was needing a rest. It was ridiculous."
On José Mourinho "He was certainly full of it, calling me boss and big man when we had our post-match drink after the first leg. But it would help if his greetings were accompanied by a decent glass of wine. What he gave me was paint-stripper."
On Rafael Benítez, reacting to the Spaniard's infamous 'facts' press conference "I think he was an angry man. He must have been disturbed for some reason. I think you have got to cut through the venom of it and hopefully he'll reflect and understand what he said was absolutely ridiculous."
On whether Liverpool would win the title in 2007 "You must be joking. Do I look as if I'm a masochist ready to cut myself? How does relegation sound instead?"
On Old Trafford "The crowd were dead. It was like a funeral out there."
On Manchester City's Carlos Tévez poster "It's City, isn't it? They are a small club, with a small mentality. All they can talk about is Manchester United, that's all they've done and they can't get away from it."
On City again "Sometimes you have a noisy neighbour. You cannot do anything about that. They will always be noisy. You just have to get on with your life, put your television on and turn it up a bit louder."
On Wayne Rooney's transfer request "Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you've got in your own field. It's a fact. Right? And it never really works out that way."
On Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid "Do you think I would enter into a contract with that mob? Absolutely no chance. I would not sell them a virus. That is a 'No' by the way. There is no agreement whatsoever between the clubs."
On Manchester United's 19th league title "It's not so much passing Liverpool. It's more important that United are the best team in the country in terms of winning titles."
And on their 20th "Look at me – it's taken 10 years off me today. It's these tablets, they're great!"
