Israel is the strongest nation in the Middle East, but we have to apply our strength wisely.

But I should tell you honestly that this administration under President Obama is doing in regard to our security more than anything that I can remember in the past.

Until the wolf shall lay with lamb, we'd better be the wolves.

If I were a Palestinian of the right age, I'd eventually join one of the terrorist organizations.

There is a thin line between peace of the brave and peace of the hostage... between compromise - even calculated risk - and irresponsibility and capitulation.

The Palestinians are like crocodiles, the more you give them meat, they want more.

If we thought that instead of 200 Palestinian fatalities, 2,000 dead would put an end to the fighting at a stroke, we would use much more force.

We want peace, but not at any price.

At this place, Jews have prayed throughout the generations, and it is fitting that the message of brotherhood should go out from here.

I'm such a failed politician that all of my rivals have disappeared, on both sides.

The Left is acting like a young child, saying 'I want peace'... A child says 'I want candy right away,' an adult takes all of the factors into account and understands who he's dealing with.

What was justice, after all, but a particular outcome?

If you think my waistline defines my worth, you are not worth my time anyways.

My father gave me free run of his library. When I think of my boyhood, I think in terms of the books I read.

When I see great boxers, it's like reading a wonderful poem.

I'm German, after all.

Sometimes happiness is a blessing, but generally it is a conquest. Each day's magic moment helps.

We are still in the position of waking up and having a choice. Do I make the world better today somehow, or do I not bother?
