More quotes by Mohamed ElBaradei
The simple fact is that there is a limited amount of water on the planet, and we cannot afford to be negligent in its use. We cannot keep treating it as if it will never run out.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I hope everybody will go back to the negotiating table. Ive always said this is the only way forward.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Discipline is part of my professional training as a lawyer.
Mohamed ElBaradei
You cannot apply your high standards to a country [Egypt] burdened with decades of autocratic rule. Our democracy is still in its infancy.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Nuclear proliferation is on the rise. Equipment, material and training were once largely inaccessible. Today, however, there is a sophisticated worldwide network that can deliver systems for producing material usable in weapons.
Mohamed ElBaradei
If we are addressing the issue of weapons of mass destruction, we need to send a uniform, consistent message that there is zero tolerance to any country who is developing weapons of mass destruction, North Korea included.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I think one country with nuclear weapons is one country too many.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I still believe that any country understands that if they use nuclear weapons, they will be wiped out of existence. They could be irrational in many ways, but I don't think they're irrational to the point that they're ready to annihilate their own country.
Mohamed ElBaradei
The dream of democracy has long been enshrined in the hearts of the Egyptian people. It only needed awakening.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Democracy is not an instant coffee.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Egypt under Hosni Mubarak had deteriorated to the status of a failed state. We must wipe the slate clean and start again.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Psychology is as important as substance. If you treat people with respect, they will go out of their way to accommodate you. If you treat them in a patronizing way, they will go out of their way to make your life difficult.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Barack Obama has injected fresh momentum into efforts - stalled for a decade - to bring about nuclear disarmament.
Mohamed ElBaradei
The Egyptians have grown in confidence, theyve tasted freedom, and theres no way back.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Whether we report Iran to the council or not, I believe the only way forward is through diplomacy.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Music gives me a lot of peace, either classic music with its structure or the spontaneity of Miles Davis. It brings the best in you.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I have a lot of interests in global issues, as you know, humanity, inequity, arms control, and I continue to be active on all these issues.
Mohamed ElBaradei
We still live in a world where if you have nuclear weapons, you are buying power you are buying insurance against attack.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Egypt is indeed deeply divided. Without reconciliation we have no future. The Muslim Brotherhood is an important part of our society. I very much hope that it will participate in the next round of talks. I will be the first to protest if the imperative of fairness isn't adhered to.
Mohamed ElBaradei
We still have time to negotiate, we still have time for diplomacy, because there are still a number of issues that have not been clarified, that created a lack of confidence.
Mohamed ElBaradei
