When I was in the White House, I was confronted with the challenge of the Cold War. Both the Soviet Union and I had 30 000 nuclear weapons that could destroy the entire earth and I had to maintain the peace.

We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.

We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.

You must show the world that you abhor fighting.

Humanity should question itself, once more, about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war, on whose stage of death and pain only remain standing the negotiating table that could and should have prevented it.

If we can live a day in peace, then why couldn't we live a week in peace? If we can master a week, why not a month? If we can master a month in peace, why not a year in peace? And if we can master a year, then certainly we can master a lifetime of peace as God's highest creation.

Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.

Terrorism should be struck down with an iron hand.

If there will be a serious Palestinian prime minister who makes a 100 percent effort to end terrorism, then we can have peace. Each side has to take steps. If terror continues, there will not be an independent Palestinian state. Israel will not accept it, if terror continues.

Terrorism, as a whole, is - I don't want to say 'taboo,' but it is a very emotional subject.

This is a fact: Strength in the pursuit of peace is no vice; isolation in the pursuit of security is no virtue.
