We want Israel as a democratic and Jewish state. So you have to maintain a Jewish majority, and you want to do that by legal means, by democratic means.

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.

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.

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.

If I have not been both soothed by love and on the opposite extreme left devastated by it, I will never understand its power nor respect its majesty.

You will know those who love you, when you are in need.

Leadership is a mindset that shifts from being a victim to creating results. Any one of us can demonstrate leadership in our work and within our lives.

His time was past, her handmaid Irri declared. No man should live longer than his teeth.

I used to think there was a scientific way to do things. Like a proper way to answer a question or that kind of stuff. It's like, there's not! There's not a method, there's not a science to it.

If an animal has to be sacrificed when a new bridge is built, what will it take to build a whole new world?

I grew up. I began to think the United States had some problems that really required the help of artistic people to solve. And I gave myself permission to be a writer instead of a civil servant.

Writing is basically a job for people who like punching themselves in the face, I’m pretty sure.
