Shimon Peres
Israel is a start-up nation, and I think it can be done in other places. I will do it outside the government. I don't need the government.
Shimon Peres
We had a lot of support - don't give me the world, just the televisions. In America we enjoy support,China is neutral, India is for, in Europe they're divided.
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.
