On the art of governance: "Whoever governs Singapore must have that iron in him. Or give it up. This is not a game of cards. This is your life and mine. I've spent a whole lifetime building this and as long as I'm in charge, nobody is going to knock it down."
"I make no apologies that the PAP [People's Action Party] is the government and the government is the PAP."
"Even from my sick bed, even if you are going to lower me into the grave and I feel something is going wrong, I will get up."
"Rest on laurels? I wish I could do that. No, you rest when you're dead".
"You know the Singaporean. He is a hard-working, industrious, rugged individual. Or we would not have made the grade. But let us also recognise that he is a champion grumbler."
