Iran has been a neighbor for millenia, and will continue to be a neighbor for millenia. We have no issue with seeking to develop the best terms we can with Iran.

We have no interest in seeing an unstable Yemen or seeing a Yemen that is devastated.

You cannot lecture another people about what you think is right or wrong based on your value system unless you're willing to accept others imposing their value system on you.

We have a legal system, and we have a penal code. We have the death penalty in Saudi Arabia, and people should respect this.

We expressed our readiness to join the US-led, international coalition against Daesh with special forces. All of this, however, is still in the discussion phase and in the initial planning phase.

As long as Iran's aggressive policies continue, it's going to be bad for the region. Iran has to decide whether it wants a revolution or a nation-state.

People are saying, "Oh my God, Saudi Arabia has changed." It's a contradiction. Do you want us to lead, or do you want us to play a supporting role?

We can't do both. If you want us to lead, don't criticize us. And if you want us to play a supporting role, then tell us who is going to lead.

There is nothing to encourage. The Iranians should just stay away from us.

Daesh is attacking us. Their leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, wants to destroy the Saudi state. These people are criminals. They're psychopaths.

Daesh members wear shoes. Does this mean everybody who wears shoes is Daesh?

Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in everygeneration may not come that far, but none comes further.

I take pleasure in an excellent work done.

. . . if there was a hope of comfort for any moment, the heart or head of no human being in this house could yield it . . .

Sometimes the worst thing you can do, personally, is the best thing you can do, professionally.

You don't want your kids to hear songs of this nature... But you take em to the movies to watch Schwarzenegger!

The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing.'

Ask God and the angels to help you to meet people who will treat you with respect and love.

You’ve traveled this far on the back of every mistake.

Some wounds run too deep for the healing.

I also felt The Kite Runner was a story that would lend itself well to a visual retelling in a graphic novel.
