More quotes by 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
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
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 is moving from the realm of poetry to the realm of prose.
Shimon Peres
Without freedom you cannot have real peace.
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
The problem of the Middle East is poverty more than politics.
Shimon Peres
I was learning, as I did in the Ministry of Defense. I never knew, but I always learned.
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
The president of Iran should remember that Iran can also be wiped off the map.
Shimon Peres
Why cross and ocean when you can cross a river? Why should we sail to Washington when we can meet right away 10 miles from here?
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
Bulgaria is a true friend of Israel, that stood up to save the Jewish people 70 years ago in Europe, and who stood by throughout the terror attack that took place in Burgas last July.
Shimon Peres
They thought that I was a man with reasonable judgment, so I was never under pressure from my parents I could do whatever I wanted. I never had a negative word from them, nothing whatsoever.
Shimon Peres
Iran is a great problem, but not necessarily a great country. In fact, I think it is a very weak country.
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
Look, Israel doesn't intend to introduce nuclear weapons, but if people are afraid that we have them, why not? It's a deterrent.
Shimon Peres
I am a president who also gives pardons. Usually my considerations are humane.
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.
