“There is a hunger for the United States to be present again.”

In my family, we were Americans, we were Republicans and we were Methodists.

The challenge is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible.

We believe strongly that the road to peace and two states living side by side does not go through New York, it goes through Jerusalem and Ramallah.

I have many, many old friends, and I always think that it`s important, when you get into politics, to have friends you had before you were in politics and to understand what`s on their minds.

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don’t have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.

The good times of today are the sad thoughts of tomorrow.

My family was always present when I needed them and sometimes felt even stronger emotions than me.

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.

Live like there’s no tomorrow.
