More quotes by Shimon Peres
Television has made dictatorship impossible but democracy unbearable.
Shimon Peres
When you have two alternatives, the first thing you have to do is to look for the third that you didn't think about, that doesn't exist.
Shimon Peres
I think peace should be done not only among governments but among people. It was impossible before the Facebook.
Shimon Peres
Without freedom you cannot have real peace.
Shimon Peres
I am a president who also gives pardons. Usually my considerations are humane.
Shimon Peres
I think I was a good student, because I jumped over a school. My main interest was basically history and literature. Sports were basically basketball and swimming at a pool. I was so happy.
Shimon Peres
Israel was born under the British mandate. We learned from the British what democracy means, and how it behaves in a time of danger, war and terror. We thank Britain for introducing freedom and respect of human rights both in normal and demanding circumstances.
Shimon Peres
The United States is the only power in history that became great by giving and not by taking. I think the crisis was when the United States had more money than ideas. Money doesn't produce money. Ideas produce money.
Shimon Peres
The Middle East is replete with both new and old threats. One should not underestimate these threats, but not be alarmed by them either. Israel is stronger today than ever.
Shimon Peres
What is wrong with the Iranians in addition to the nuclear bomb? This is the only country on Earth in the 21st century that has renewed imperialistic ambitions. They really want to become the hegemon of the Middle East in an age that gave up imperialism.
Shimon Peres
Israel's doors are open to collaboration with Bulgaria.
Shimon Peres
The Holocaust is a great warning to us all. We shall never forget our sisters and brothers. We have to ensure it is not repeated and to ensure we never go back to the days when humans behaved as beasts. Forgetfulness is a menace, we must remember.
Shimon Peres
In the past, most wars were motivated by the idea of nationhood. Today, however, wars are incited above all using religion as an excuse.
Shimon Peres
It's a morality that keeps humans human.
Shimon Peres
[Hamas] lives on their rifles and bombs.
Shimon Peres
[Hamas] thought that if you go to elections you become a democrat for the rest of your life. They think that democracy is limited to one day in four years.
Shimon Peres
I do not know anybody that is threatening Iran. It is a safe country.
Shimon Peres
In Israel, a land lacking in natural resources, we learned to appreciate our greatest national advantage: our minds. Through creativity and innovation, we transformed barren deserts into flourishing fields and pioneered new frontiers in science and technology.
Shimon Peres
Governments are based on power, companies are based on goodwill, which allows them to invest in the future.
Shimon Peres
For me, dreaming is simply being pragmatic.
