Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.

Together we can create a world in which peace is real in which every human being can thrive in which all share the promise of our century. I believe we can succeed.

As a privileged survivor of the First World War I hope I may be allowed to interject here a deeply felt tribute to those who were not fortunate enough to succeed but who shared the signal honor of trying to the last to salvage peace.

On the other hand if the free world is concerned with how a new Palestinian leader governs then the peace process will have a real chance to succeed.

The Palestinians want a state but they have to give peace in return. What they're trying to do in the United Nations is to get a state without giving Israel peace or giving Israel peace and security. And I think that's that's wrong. That should not succeed. That should that should fail.

Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature.

Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.

The novel succeeds on terms exclusive to literature. A good film succeeds on terms exclusive to the cinema. That's why so many bad novels can become good movies like 'Jaws' or 'The Godfather.'

I feel like I'm a fighter. I've fought my whole life to get to where I'm at. I like fight movies. When someone gets knocked down I like to root for him to succeed.

The will to succeed is important but what's more important is the will to prepare.
