You cannot transpose the U.S. system on Turkey, and the Turkish system on France etc. You have to understand the people and their culture. That's leadership.

If you like your brother and he's prospering, you'll be pleased for him.

I care about Bahrain. Bahrain is very dear to me. I will not allow people to play around with our laws.

Our people have proven their desire for continuing with reforms. We complete the march today with those who have an honest patriotic desire for more progress and reform.

By being friends with all, we are not alone.

There is no ethnic cleansing in Bahrain, no mass genocide, no policy of killing innocent people.

If somebody gives me his hand, I will not look at him with suspicion.
