How can you hope to build up a nation by fragmenting its politics into opposing camps? Whatever one group builds, the other will endeavour to destroy.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi

O Cyrus , great King, King of Kings, Achaemenian King, King of the land of Iran. I, the Shahanshah of Iran, offer thee salutations from myself and from my nation. Rest in peace, for we are awake, and we will always stay awake.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi

To be first in the Middle East is not enough. We must raise ourselves to the level of a great world power.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
Image
We may be delighted to see Israel putting the Arabs in their place, but we have repeatedly condemned their occupation of Arab territory.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
Image
I will frankly confess that I was convinced that God had ordained me to do certain things for the service of my nation, things that perhaps could not be done by anyone else. In whatever I have done and whatever I do in the future, I consider myself as an agent of the will of God.

The Jewish press in the USA is solely responsible for our poor publicity.

As for King Hussein of Jordan, I cannot praise him enough. He is not only a friend, but a brother. His qualities as a man and his goodness of heart are enhanced by great courage and a true love of his country.

Image
I calculated the amount of time I spent with my father during my entire life... the total amount of time I had with him, if you add up the hours, was about two months. My father was a busy man... we had very few opportunities to really sit down and talk as father and son.

As far as we are concerned, we are not the toys of any country, including the United States.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
Image
There is only one thing I can say about the Shah- he knows how to draw a crowd.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
Image
Pride comes before a fall - although in [Henry Kissinger's] case it's more conceit than pride.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
Image
Thank God we in Iran have neither the desire nor the need to suffer from democracy.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
Image
My advisers built a wall between myself and my people. I didn't realize what was happening. When I woke up, I had lost my people.

Yugoslavia is, with Iran, the only country which under difficult, not to say agonising, circumstances stood up to Joseph Stalin. It was not easy to unite ethnic groups or to modernize a country like Yugoslavia, and it must be acknowledged that Marshal Tito achieved something extraordinary. May God grant that his successors be as capable as he.

Nixon is a strong leader with a good grasp of the world's problems. He knows that the only way to argue with the communists is from a position of strength.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
Image
Nixon has the audacity to tell me to do nothing in the interest of my country until he dictactes where that interest lies. At the same time he threatens me that failure to follow his so-called advice will be to jeopardize the special relations between our two countries. I say to hell with such special relations.

What's happened recently in Pakistan, India and Kuwait only goes to show that it's futile to imitate Western democracy. They've ended up exactly where they started.

Today the name of America has a magic meaning for the most distant commmunities of the world.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
Image
It would serve the Americans right if we emptied the prisons and let the subversives take power. They'd soon show Washington just how much they appreciate good old American values.

I want the standard of living in Iran in ten years' time to be exactly on a level with that in Europe today. In twenty years' time we shall be ahead of the United States.
