If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone.

The truth is that if Israel were to put down its arms there would be no more Israel. If the Arabs were to put down their arms there would be no more war.

To defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle and lose the war.

If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more ‎violence. If the Jews put ‎down their weapons ‎today, there would be no ‎more Israel'‎

You can make peace with an enemy, if the enemy abandons the idea of destroying you. That is the critical test. Democracies fail to understand what I just said.

Peace is purchased from strength. It's not purchased from weakness or unilateral retreats.

When it comes to Iran and ISIS, the enemy of your enemy is your enemy!

History has shown us time and again that what is right is not what is popular.

I'm the prime minister who removed 400 checkpoints, barriers, road-blocks and so on to facilitate the growth of the Palestinian economy.

The Nazis believed in a master race. The militant Islamists believe in a master faith.

I don't want to govern the Palestinians. I don't want them as subjects of Israel or as citizens of Israel. I want them to have their own independent state but a demilitarized state.

Fear prophets, Adso, and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them.

We do not fall in love with the package of the person, we fall in love with the inside of a person.

If you hear something you like, and you're halfway like the public, chances are they'll like it too.

If you try to nail anything down, in the novel, either it kills the novel, or the novel gets up and walks away with the nail.

Like a lot of writers, I just got sick to death of conventional fiction. I absolutely couldn't stand the illusion of reality and plot. I just couldn't stomach it.

The older you've gotten, the more respect and admiration you've received.

Make a strong and permanent commitment to invest your talents only in pursuits that deserve your best efforts.

When you don't know what to do, try something; if that doesn't work, try something else.

I want to be able to write, that's my first love and I don't want to deviate from it even though I probably could have made a lot more money.

The art of avoiding extremes is an art that is drawn on the canvas of maturity and painted with the abstract strokes of many experiences.
