It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.
Born poor, but of honored and humble people, I am particularly proud to die poor.
The feelings of my smallness and my nothingness always kept me good company.
It often happens that I wake up at night and begin to think about a serious problem and decide I must tell the Pope about it. Then I wake up completely and remember that I am the Pope.
