Shimon Peres
Some experts advise what to do in accordance with the past, but the past flew away, and we have to reorient ourselves in the face of new dangers.
Shimon Peres
I don't think anybody who carries a rifle carries the future. Because I don't believe that you can really change the world by killing and shooting. You have the change it by creating and competing.
Shimon Peres
It's better to be controversial for the right reasons, than to be popular for the wrong reasons.
Shimon Peres
Today, Israel is stronger than ever. Israel has defensive tools of its own - those developed in the past and those developed today and those that will be developed tomorrow.
Shimon Peres
I think today you can move ahead working with global companies more than with national governments.
Shimon Peres
