In order to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear country you have to introduce a system of verification and inspection.

Iran is a great problem, but not necessarily a great country. In fact, I think it is a very weak country.

To find a cause that's larger than yourself and then to give your life to it.

Governments are based on power, companies are based on goodwill, which allows them to invest in the future.

I cannot go to elections with an open stomach. If you want to negotiate we have to conclude it before the elections. I cannot just start the negotiations [with Palestinians] saying we are ready to do this and that and not having any reply.

If a problem has no solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact - not to be solved, but to be coped with over time.

In any democratic country you have more than one view.
