The international community and Israel have the same opinion regarding the Hamas government. We don't say we are going to boycott it forever. We say the Hamas government must abide by the obligations the Palestinian Authority has signed.

Well, I couldn't do the day-to-day stuff of being a politician or anything, but I just think everybody should have an opinion and everybody should vote, and that's what we're built on.

These measures may not constitute an absolute guarantee of peace, but, in my opinion, they constitute the greatest preventive measures ever adopted by nations.

Everyone has an opinion, and the guy screaming for censorship may be the next guy to have his ideas cut off.

Where there is little or no public opinion, there is likely to be bad government, which sooner or later becomes autocratic government.

Leaders are responsible not for running public opinion polls but for the consequences of their actions.

My recipe for life is not being afraid of myself, afraid of what I think or of my opinions.

I don't always want my opinion known. What little privacy I have left I'd like to maintain.
