Idi Amin

I have to keep law and order and it means that I have to kill my enemies before they kill me.

Although some people felt Adolf Hitler was bad, he was a great man and a real conqueror whose name would never be forgotten.

Germany is the place where when Hitler was the prime minister and supreme commander, he burned over six million Jews. This is because Hitler and all German people knew that Israelis are not people who are working in the interest of the world and that is why they burned the Israelis alive with gas in the soil of Germany.

It’s not for me. I tried human flesh and it’s too salty for my taste.

If we knew the meaning to everything that is happening to us, then there would be no meaning.

I want to be remembered as a great athlete. As a boxing champion.

I would have set out very quickly the relationship with Europe.

It is my view that we cannot conduct foreign policy at the extremes.

With regard to freedom of speech there are basically two positions: you defend it vigorously for views you hate, or you reject it and prefer Stalinist/fascist standards. It is unfortunate that it remains necessary to stress these simple truths.

The business world was pretty upset by the advances in public welfare in the ’60s, in particular by Richard Nixon – it’s not too well understood, but he was the last New Deal president, and they regarded that as class treachery.

To forgive the terrorists is up to God, but to send them to him is up to me.

You don’t have to set limits on your talent and your ambition – or those of your children. You don’t have to be grateful to survive in a world made by others.

I am not a committed pacifist. I would not hold that it is under all imaginable circumstances wrong to use violence, even though use of violence is in some sense unjust. I believe that one has to estimate relative justices. But the use of violence and the creation of some degree of injustice can only be justified on the basis of the claim and the assessment-which always ought to be undertaken very, very seriously and with a good deal of scepticism that this violence is being exercised because a more just result is going to be achieved.

That government is best which governs least.

I don’t think I’m going to lose, but if I do, I don’t think you’re ever going to see me again, folks. I think I’ll go to Turnberry and play golf or something.

I don’t mind what Congress does, as long as they don’t do it in the streets and frighten the horses.

[on Trump] This guy’s shame has no limits.

I think we need more young people; we need to elect young people to government. We need to give them a chance, in the media, in politics, in democracy.

I could have spent eight years doing anything, and at some level, it would have been fine. I could have focused on flowers. I could have focused on decor. I could have focused on entertainment. Because any First Lady, rightfully, gets to define her role. There’s no legislative authority; you’re not elected. And that’s a wonderful gift of freedom.

It’s only terrorism if they do it to us. When we do much worse to them, it’s not terrorism.

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.
