More quotes by 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
The Egyptians have grown in confidence, theyve tasted freedom, and theres no way back.
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
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
People talk about smart sanctions and crippling sanctions. Ive never seen smart sanctions, and crippling sanctions cripple everyone, including innocent civilians, and make the government more popular.
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
You either have a civil society or you dont.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Whether we report Iran to the council or not, I believe the only way forward is through diplomacy.
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
Egypt under Hosni Mubarak had deteriorated to the status of a failed state. We must wipe the slate clean and start again.
Mohamed ElBaradei
It would be, in fact, very ominous if Iraq were to be able to get weapon-usable material, hydro-plutonium or highly enriched uranium from abroad.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I worry about a democracy having nuclear weapons as much as a dictatorship having nuclear weapons.
Mohamed ElBaradei
The sooner we put Egypt on the right track, the sooner we would be able to have an Egypt that is modern, that is moderate, and that is acting as a beacon for freedom and liberty across the Arab world.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Barack Obama has injected fresh momentum into efforts - stalled for a decade - to bring about nuclear disarmament.
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
Discipline is part of my professional training as a lawyer.
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
Iran has the technology to produce the highly enriched uranium, which is not automatically meaning nuclear weapon.
