I believe in words. God gave humans the power of speech so that they could communicate. A person's morality is the relationship between their words and their intentions.

Nowadays, politics is done through political programs. However, political programs do not contain the solution for a country's growth. The birth or rebirth of a country lies in words. Because words contain the rules. And there can be no programme without rules first. | Quoted in Tommaso Labate, De Mita: «Nel 1985 potevo fare il capo dello Stato, ma amo chiacchierare, e un presidente non può», Corriere.it, 1 February 2018.
