An easy life does not make men, nor does it build nations. Challenges make men, and it is these men who build nations.

We should always be practical, realistic and optimistic.

Try to achieve the impossible and direct your people to ways of achieving it.

With each day in Africa, a gazelle wakes up knowing he must outrun the fastest lion or perish. At the same time, a lion stirs and stretches, knowing he must outrun the fastest gazelle or starve. It is no different for the human race. Whether you consider yourself a gazelle or a lion, you simply have to run faster then others to survive

I want Dubai to be a place where everybody from all over the world meets each other, don't think of fighting or hate, just love it, enjoy their sport, and that's it.

No one in the Emirates is above the law and accountability.

There is no Dubai and Abu Dhabi we are one. Whoever doesn't understand this should do their homework before they start talking. We will be there for each other when we need it.
