Let me first tell you one thing: It doesn't matter what the world says about Israel; it doesn't matter what they say about us anywhere else. The only thing that matters is that we can exist here on the land of our forefathers. And unless we show the Arabs that there is a high price to pay for murdering Jews, we won't survive.

It's not a matter of maintaining the status quo. We have to create a dynamic state, oriented towards expansion.

Not the absorption capacity of the land, but the creative ability of a people, is the true yardstick with which we can measure the immigration potentialities of the land.

Without moral and intellectual independence, there is no anchor for national independence.

The Arabs of the land of Israel [ Palestinians] have only one functionleft to them -- to run away.

To be realistic, you have to believe in miracles.

Courage is... the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared.
