Preventing the conflicts of tomorrow means changing the mindsets of the youth of today.

I’m not sorry. I will never be sorry. I would do everything I did again if I had to. Everything.

The overwhelming majority of women accept the patriarchy and protect it. Traditionally, the violated wife offloads her aggression onto the daughter-in-law. Men dominate women through the agency of women themselves.

I cannot forgive him [Nelson Mandela] for accepting the Nobel Peace Prize with his jailer De Klerk. Hand in hand they went. Do you think De Klerk released him from the goodness of his heart? He had to. The times dictated it, the world had changed.

It was in the townships where we shed so much blood. Nothing could have been achieved without the sacrifice of the people. Black people.

If you are to free yourselves you must break the chains of oppression yourselves. Only then can we express our dignity, only when we have liberated ourselves can we cooperate with other groups. Any acceptance of humiliation, indignity or insult is acceptance of inferiority.

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

We will chase terrorists everywhere. If in an airport, then in the airport. So if we find them in the toilet, excuse me, we’ll rub them out in the outhouse. And that’s it, case closed.

You can’t be in politics unless you can walk in a room and know in a minute who’s for you and who’s against you.

I myself consider myself the most powerful figure in the world.

Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.

By the autumn of this year, additional measures should be introduced which will stabilize the situation on the market.

The path towards a free society has not been simple. There are tragic and glorious pages in our history.

The most repressive countries in the Middle East are the ones we support. By comparison to Saudi Arabia, Iran looks like Norway…As far as violence in the Middle East is concerned, the Saudi Arabian [and] UAE actions in Yemen, which we’re supporting, are much worse than anything.

I tell you folks, all politics is applesauce.
