“We have no problems with Jews and highly respect Judaism as a holy religion.”

I believe the main solution is to gain the trust of Europe and America and to remove their concerns over the peaceful nature of our nuclear industry and to assure them that there will never be a diversion to military use.

We don’t have any bad memories of the people of the United States.

Each department and institution has its own authorities and responsibilities, and they act on that basis.

Iran is determined to use peaceful nuclear technology and no intimidation or threat can make us give it up.

If (the West) shows its rigidity by making unjust decisions and putting their threats into practice, the Iranian people will not be the only ones to pay the price.

I think the elections have gone well, although there is so much insecurity in Iraq. So far during the counting of ballots.

We want all the Palestinians back in their homeland, and then there can be a fair referendum for people to choose the form of state they want. Whoever gets the majority can rule.

When al-Qaeda was on the run from Afghanistan crossing through Iran, some were arrested and they are imprisoned. Some of them are charged with some actions in Iran.

I only know that the sole option is to leave Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Europe resolved a great problem-the problem of the Zionist danger.

If we have any problems, it’s always with the government of the United States.

I think that Americans should gradually begin to adopt positive behavior rather than doing evil.

A highly learned man has two sources of happiness: either he abandons all earthly interests, or else he possesses much which could be abandoned.

We literally lived underground. We dug a hole and lived there for years. My father cleaned public toilets, even though he was a highly respected poet.

We feel that we are highly blessed.

Will bring success to any fighter aircraft, no matter how highly developed it may be.

I’d known that the visit would be highly scripted and that genuine interactions with citizens wouldn’t be possible, since it’s illegal for them to speak with foreigners.

Rising inequality can create a more highly leveraged economy, and it can then make the economy vulnerable to a crash like 2008.

[George] Uhlenbeck was a highly gifted physicist. One of his remarkable traits was he would read every issue of T%he Physical Review from cover to cover.

Or maybe I’d lost my soul already. I doubted God let someone like me keep any gift from him. It was highly likely I’d been born without one.
