I prefer a prison full of criminals than a graveyard full of innocent people.
Jair Bolsonaro
I believe that a strong man makes a strong country.
It doesn't matter what the colour of your skin is, your sexual preference, the region where you were born, your gender. We're all equal... We can't take certain minorities and think they have super powers and are different from the others.
I'd rather my son died in an accident than showed up with some bloke with a moustache.
I have five children. There were four boys. The fifth, I got weak, and a girl came.
We will invest heavily in safety and security... preserve the environment... make progress on biodiversity and economic progress.
We are going to unite this people. We will unite whites and blacks, homosexuals and heterosexuals... We will unite bosses and employees, and we won't plant the seed of discord between them.
I am in favour of a dictatorship.
Every honest citizen, man or woman, if they want to have a weapon in their homes - depending on certain criteria - should be able to have one.
We will reduce the tax burden, simplify tax rules, and make life easier for those who want to produce, do business, invest, and create jobs.
My heart is green, yellow, blue, and white.
We distrust the electronic vote here.
We need to unify Brazil, to pacify it.
It's these leftwing people, who always put themselves above the rest, who are fascists.
God above all.

Real democracy is food on the table, the ability to plan your life, the ability to walk on the street without getting mugged.
We are the voice of freedom.
All of us have a mission here on Earth.
We do not want socialism.
Elections won't change anything in this country.
I will not accept an election result that is not my own victory.
If I were racist, I wouldn't be so crazy as to declare it on television.
I vote for every privatization bill that I can. It is the Left that opposes privatization. They just want to preserve their government jobs.
I know what hierarchy and discipline mean. Without those, we will never have order and progress.
We are going to unite the people, rescue the family, respect religions and our Judeo-Christian tradition, combat gender ideology, conserving our values.
We are going to change the destiny of Brazil.
A country the size of Brazil can't be held back by Mercosur to do trade with the rest of the world.
If anyone interferes into the private life of two people, I will defend the right of those two people between their four walls. That is no problem.
This history of a secular state doesn't exist, no. The state is Christian, and those who are against it can leave.
If we are competing in elections, it's because we believe in the popular vote and will be slaves to our constitution.
If Congress grants permission, I would put armed forces in the streets.
What we need is a government with authority but without authoritarianism.
We are going to change Brazil!
You do not negotiate with terrorists.
Brazil is a paradise.
Israel is a sovereign state. If you decide on your capital city, we will act in accordance.
We can't continue with this social democracy here in Brazil.
Because women get more labor rights than men, meaning they get maternity leave, the employer prefers to hire men.
I took over a Brazil in the midst of a profound ethical, moral, and economic crisis. We are committed to changing our history... We want to govern by example.
It saddens me to see the entrepreneurial world in Brazil, because it's a misfortune to be a boss in our country, with so many labor laws.
We will never resolve serious national problems with this irresponsible democracy.
Everywhere I go, people embrace me and treat me like a national hero. The people in the streets are asking for the return of the military. They ask, 'When are you coming back?'
We do not want a Bolivarian America.
No other country in the world has as many forests as we do.
Good citizens deserve the means to defend themselves.
We will do business with the Chinese - but we will not hand our territory over to anybody!
This cowardly business of international NGOs like WWF and so many others from England sticking their noses into Brazil is going to end!
We cannot allow the indiscriminate entry of all those who come here only because they wanted to come.
You'll never change anything in this country through voting. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
