We have a war against Daesh (the Islamic State, or IS) in Syria. A coalition that was led by the United States, with Saudi Arabia being one of the first members of that coalition.

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.

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 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.

I take same picture twice, First with my heart then camera.

He did not care for the lying at first. He hated it. Then later he had come to like it. It was part of being an insider but it was a very corrupting business.

Self is the only prison that can ever bind the soul.

If you go to the Air and Space Museum in Washington, you can see the burn patterns on Friendship 7.

A little madness in the Spring Is wholesome even for the King, But God be with the Clown, Who ponders this tremendous scene-- This whole experiment in green, As if it were his own!

Make thyself perfect; others, happy.

We are more sensible of what is done against custom than against nature.

You take the books, you lie there in the pools of light and you drink life. That is how intensely I have loved libraries.

Relax in the precious arms of the Holy Spirit.
