More quotes by Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
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.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
Thank God we in Iran have neither the desire nor the need to suffer from democracy.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
He [the King of Morocco] spends half his time asleep and the rest of it buried between the legs of the fairer sex.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
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
Soviet propaganda is remarkably effective and the Americans are even more remarkably stupid.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
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.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
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.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
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
Henry Kissinger is possessed of a truly superior intelligence, in addition to which he has two qualities which, unfortunately, many great men lack: he is able to listen and he has a very subtle sense of humour.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
You approach the Mullahs as if they are normal people. They are not. You see them in your own image you should not.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
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
This criticism is ridiculous. The twenty-five hundreth anniversary celebration cost me less than the inauguration of each new president of the United States.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
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.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
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.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
The Jewish press in the USA is solely responsible for our poor publicity.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
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.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
As far as we are concerned, we are not the toys of any country, including the United States.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
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.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
There is only one thing I can say about the Shah- he knows how to draw a crowd.
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
