“I may not be a politician, but I will fight to the end of my life for what I believe in.”

Any private security is a joke in a country where youre up against your own government.

I have always lived according to my conscience, and my past is clean.

Nothing is sacred to a gamester.

I would like to become the prime minister, do the job for two years, and then leave and devote myself to public work.

A difficult regional situation doesn’t justify one man’s determination to hold onto power. It’s clear to me that democratization is a very complicated process.

[It is important] to have stability and to have security, which means humanitarian equals fighting terrorists. You cannot talk about humanitarian aid and supporting the terrorists at the same time. You cannot, you have to choose.

As long as you fight, you cannot lose… if you leave everything out there, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose. To me you can never lose.

Why would Senator Allen want to oppose saving money for the state? Its simply another example of Republicans fighting the governor tooth and nail against any measure where she might be able to turn the states budget around.

Everybody knows it hurts to grow up…and we’re still fighting it.

It’s not about me, again, this fight is not my fight, it’s not the fight of the government ; it’s the fight of the country, of the Syrian people.
