I can retain neither respect nor affection for government which has been moving from wrong to wrong in order to defend its immorality

If you want something really important to be done you must not merely satisfy the reason, you must move the heart also.

You can't lead a true life without suffering

One man cannot do right in one department of life whilst he is occupied in doing wrong in any other department. Life is one indivisible whole

Distinguish between real needs and artificial wants and control the latter.

Death to Israel! Death to Israel!

Anyone who is a Palestinian citizen, whether Christian, Jewish or Muslim, should decide together in a very free referendum. There is no need for war. There is no need for threats or an atom bomb either.

Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury.

Any nation has the right and will indeed defend herself.

And God willing, with the force of God behind it, we shall soon experience a world without the United States and Zionism.

All peoples must be respected, and they must all be granted the same rights.
