Israel does not care about the international public opinion.

We, in Syria, our point of view stems from our experience.

As soon as the legitimate Lebanese government is convinced that the conditions have ripened and that Lebanon is able to maintain stability on its own… Then, the Syrian forces will return to their homeland.

The most significant indicator that there is no disaster in Iraq is the fact that there is no exodus.

When Lebanon started its resistance it was a small and divided country.

When we analyze this war in a materialistic way and ask when is it going to end and who will be the winner and the loser, it means that we do not see the endgame.

Our country, our people, and our laws have to be our top priority.

There is no art which one government sooner learns of another than that of draining money from the pockets of the people.

Powerful states have quite typically considered themselves to be exceptionally magnificent and the United States is no exception to that. The basis for it is not very substantial, to put it politely.

So…should we take our guns, go out in the street and start destroying Chase Manhattan bank. Well if you want to get killed in five minutes that’s a good suggestion. Other than that it has absolutely nothing to do with the world so there is not any point in even discussing it.

An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination.

The U.S.S. George H. W. Bush is a great thing in my life. It’s amazing. A great honor.

You know, they are fooling us, there is no God.

When the victims are classified as less than human … Communists, terrorists, or whatever may be the contemporary term of art – their extermination raises no moral qualms. And the agents of extermination are praiseworthy moderates-our Nazis …

I believe there’s too little patience and context to many of the investigations I read or see on television.

Bike is the most democratic transport vehicle. Bike is the most daring, challenging as it gives its owner the tempting feeling of freedom, that is why one can say without any exaggeration, bike is a symbol of freedom.

My life’s work has been accomplished. I did all that I could.

America will start winning again, winning like never before.

We don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone. Freedom is like that. It’s like air. When you have it, you don’t notice it.

I want every individual who has the potential and qualifications to succeed in higher education to be given the opportunity to participate, whatever their family background.
