I am a president who also gives pardons. Usually my considerations are humane.
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
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
For me, dreaming is simply being pragmatic.
Shimon Peres
I do not know anybody that is threatening Iran. It is a safe country.

Shimon Peres
For many years the stakes were clear. There were the Arabs attacking us and us defending ourselves, so basically there were no real problems [between the United States and Israel].

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
The Iranian regime suppresses its own people as well as others in the region. It prevents peace by sponsoring terror globally. With the ultimate weapon that it is deceptively developing, the regime aims to gain hegemony over the entire Middle East and hold the world's economy hostage.
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 was learning, as I did in the Ministry of Defense. I never knew, but I always learned.
Shimon Peres
He taught me literature, and he actually taught me how to read. He was my personal mentor.
Shimon Peres
Palestinians are becoming religiously fanatic. Israel is becoming irrelevant. They do it for religious purpose, fanatic, they want to conquer the Middle East under the command of the Iranians.
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
We have to be reasonable people.
Shimon Peres
Israel is moving from the realm of poetry to the realm of prose.
Shimon Peres
Hamas married the Iranians. It was their choice. They are the same family.
Shimon Peres
We asked the workers to give up 25 percent of their salaries. Imagine! We asked the industrialists to freeze all costs, no matter what the inflation is.
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.
