More quotes by Shimon Peres
In many ways, the media today makes dictatorship impossible. But it also makes democracy intolerable.
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
Israel welcomes the wind of change, and sees a window of opportunity. Democratic and science-based economies by nature desire peace. Israel does not want to be an island of affluence in an ocean of poverty. Improvements in our neighbours' lives mean improvements to the neighbourhood in which we live.
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
Israel is moving from the realm of poetry to the realm of prose.
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 have a brother younger than me. My mother was a librarian, so from her, I got the taste to read.
Shimon Peres
The most important thing in life is to dare. The most complicated thing in life is to be afraid. The smartest thing in the world is to try to be a moral person.
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
Can any church help us to win a war? If you can't help us win a war, then please don't press us.
Shimon Peres
You're as young as your dreams, not as old as your calendar
Shimon Peres
Historic justice has been done by killing Saddam.
Shimon Peres
If a problem has no solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact - not to be solved, but to be coped with over time.
Shimon Peres
I've worked with 10 presidents. It's a record. I worked with Republicans and Democrats. All of them when it came to Israel were, movingly, friendly. From Truman, who was the first to recognize Israel 11 minutes after the U.N. resolution, to Obama. When it comes to the major issues of security and strategy, we are together, completely.
Shimon Peres
One of the most important branches of the Egyptian economy is tourism. No bikinis, no tourism. So they have to decide what to do.
Shimon Peres
Leading the Jewish people is not easy -- we are a divided, obstinate, highly individualistic people who have cultivated faith, sharp wittedness and polemics to a very high level.
Shimon Peres
In the Middle East, the conflict today is a matter of generations and not of cultures.
