Author of quotes: Shimon Peres

The Lord God has given each of us three hundred and fifty million moments to life. And people need to decide what to do with all these minutes. You can spend it in vain. But I think self-discipline is not to waste time. Because fatigue is also a psychological phenomenon.

We dreamed of their own land, but the land we got was not a dream. It was a small piece, one thousandth part of the Middle East. This land is not very good we were treated. There were swamps, mosquitos, desert in the South, the stones. We had to choose between mosquitoes and stones. It had two lakes, one dead, the other was extinct. Was the famous river - but there was no water. That is, there was no water at all. No natural resources, too, were not - no gold, no oil.

The greatest wealth of nature is a person. The people enriched the land, not the land - the people.

Do not our pockets fill our brains, and our brains fill our pockets.

Every politician must be aware of the ratio of the predictions and reality.

The main purpose of government is to help others in the quest to move forward.

Ask me, I'm an optimist or a pessimist. My answer: optimists and pessimists die the same way, but live differently. And if I can offer people, then I would suggest to live as optimists.

Modern democracy is not only the equality of rights is the right of every person to be different, to be different. The other - that doesn't mean you're a monster. You remain a man.

The Marxists said that Economics is a science, they were wrong. The economy is based on science. But each of them remains in place.

A friendly relationship is when you can live with the not so clear aspects.

The main thing in life is not who to be and what to do.
