I'm not in power, but my ideas are in power. And my ideas will prevail.

My doctors say I am very healthy.

I never thought that Syria and Israel should engage in a violent confrontation because I don't think that there is any particular interest for any of us to do it.

Leadership is tested not by one's capacity to survive politically but by the ability to make tough decisions in trying times.

I think the attempt to draw a comparison between Iran and Syria is false, misleading and dangerous.

I want to arrive at the possibility of peace with the Syrians, and when I believe that the conditions are right, I will not miss the opportunity.

Every prime minister... has the responsibility to provide security for his people.
