Sooner or later, jihadist-style terror and WMD are going to come together and the consequences could be horrendous.

Any time we are misused or used for a purpose other than what God intended us for, it’s damaging.

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.

The worst evil of disregard for some law is that it destroys respect for all law.

We’re close friends – the American people, the Israeli people, our governments. There’s absolutely no daylight – none – between us and the Israelis on the question of Israel’s security.

Nicaragua dealt with the problem of terrorism in exactly the right way. It followed international law and treaty obligations. It collected evidence, brought the evidence to the highest existing tribunal, the International Court of Justice, and received a verdict – which, of course, the U.S. dismissed with contempt.

Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war against terrorism.

The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war.

And now, of course this is another thing I didn’t count on, that now as the governor of the state of California, I am selling California worldwide. You see that? Selling.

Once the automobile appeared you could have predicted that it would destroy as many people as it did.

We should not look at terrorism from the nameplates – which group they belong to, what is their geographical location, who are the victims. These individual groups or names will keep changing.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I am the commander in chief of the United States armed forces, and Iraq is gonna have to ultimately provide for its own security.

Stupidity has a knack of getting its way.

That’s what I do this for, to secure my family’s future. I don’t care about anything else. I’m able to spoil people, and that’s the best thing.

Our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.

Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love.

Bad seed is a robbery of the worst kind: for your pocket-book not only suffers by it, but your preparations are lost and a season passes away unimproved.

I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism.

Success consecrates the most offensive crimes.

When Britain and the U.S. invaded Iraq, it was with the reasonable expectation that it was going to increase the threat of terror, as it has.

Even a paranoid can have enemies.

Man has the power to act as his own destroyer – and that is the way he has acted through most of his history.

Don’t create more enemies than you take out by some immoral act.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.

I can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.

Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced – the just demands of peace and security will be met – or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.

Resistance is feasible even for those who are not heroes by nature, and it is an obligation, I believe, for those who fear the consequences and detest the reality of the attempt to impose American hegemony.

On September 11 2001, America felt its vulnerability even to threats that gather on the other side of the Earth. We resolved then, and we are resolved today, to confront every threat from any source that could bring sudden terror and suffering to America.

If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people – including me – would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.

Al Qaeda is still a threat. We cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything is going to be OK.

Every sin is the result of a collaboration.

First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?

He that sows thorns should never go barefoot.

Where there is no opposition to evil, it multiplies.

Play not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.

People everywhere in the world are hungry for economic opportunity. And it’s about a lot more than being able to make money.

People are unaware of what is going on. When I talk to people, they know the basics, they know the planet is warming because of greenhouse gases… but they don’t know the actual consequence of that.

Justice is expensive in America. There are no Free Passes… You might want to remember this, the next time you get careless and blow off a few Parking Tickets. They will come back to haunt you the next time you see a Cop car in your rear-view mirror.

I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.

The best security for civilization is the dwelling, and upon properly appointed and becoming dwellings depends, more than anything else, the improvement of mankind.

Smooth functioning of social life has always depended on the recognition of certain basic limits to behavior. We cannot simply say or do anything we wish, or offend people, without paying consequences – isolation, ostracism, etc.

One cannot violate the promptings of one’s nature without having that nature recoil upon itself.

There’s no difference between one’s killing and making decisions that will send others to kill. It’s exactly the same thing, or even worse.

The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.

The coward only threatens when he is safe.

The suicide-bombing community is not absolutely 100 percent religious, but it is pretty nearly 100 percent religious.

Leaders are responsible not for running public opinion polls but for the consequences of their actions.

The terrorists are fighting freedom with all their cunning and cruelty because freedom is their greatest fear – and they should be afraid, because freedom is on the march.

You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye.

And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.

Security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit; your machine can be taken over totally.

What you don’t do can be a destructive force.

I was sure I’d set the world on fire, and it was hard for a young feller like me to realize the truth – that I hadn’t set the world on fire, and I was totally unprepared to handle the consequences if ‚The Big Trail‘ had been a success and launched me as a star.

No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition.

There is every likelihood that the Jihadi movement, much of it highly critical of bin Laden, could have been split and undermined after 9/11.

The invasion of Iraq, particularly, gave a big shot in the arm to the jihadi extremists.

A number of analysts have observed that although bin Laden was finally killed, he won some major successes in his war against the U.S.
