Israelis do not need to be lectured about the importance of peace by foreign leaders.

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.

We are born winners, but we are hypnotized by the society to succumb to mediocrity and moulded into self-victimization. It is for each one of us to regain our self-geniusness.

Lasting happiness is the offspring of endurance.

I think that is a very important component, to have passion, to have a dream, to have a purpose in life.

I sometimes throw in a couple of swears just to keep the Christian right off my tail. I wouldn't want to be the tea party's go-to comedian.

Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.

Being a person, I had come to realize, is a communal activity. Dogs know how to be dogs. But people do not know how to be people unless and until they learn from other people.

That's a nice tie... Do you have any knickers in that material?

If you're going to make rubbish, be the best rubbish in it.

... not doing what we love in the name of greed is very poor management of our lives.
