We will use Norway's great opportunities and income on the common good -- jobs for all, good schools, security and care for the elderly.
We will not put a lid on opinions. On the contrary, it is more important than ever that political debates are open and free, even on the most difficult issues. Especially on the most difficult issues. The task is to encourage controversial debates in a form that strengthens democracy.
I think I would rather be a prime minister than a taxi driver.
One of the lessons learned from 22 July is that we have to take seriously all those people who take part in debates on the Internet, expressing extreme views, and then meet them, discuss with them, bring them into the open. We have not used bans or used the laws to try to forbid parties or political tendencies which we don't like.
We want to make the coastline around Norway more accessible for everyone.
We will have 2-3 weeks to negotiate the other issues.
We promised an absolute majority and that's what we're going to give the country.
Just as important as our society as a whole are our small communities: our neighborhoods, workplaces and schools.
I said, I myself eat fresh fish several times a week and give it to my children.
In this campaign we had two goals: a strong election for Labor and a chance to form a majority government. The one goal has been reached, the other is within reach.
We had very good discussions on current security challenges and NATO's continued adaptation to meet them. Canada is a committed ally and a capable contributor to international security. We appreciate your quick decision to deploy forces, planes and ships to strengthen our collective defence in view of Russia's aggressive actions in Ukraine, as well as your contribution to the international anti-ISIL coalition. Canada plays a major part in our decision-making and helps keep the vital bond between Europe and North America strong.
Evil can kill a person, but never conquer a nation.
We have a high standard of living. ... In Norway, we've tripled our income since 1970. In the rest of western Europe, income has merely doubled.
Today we are all Egyptians.
