Our strategy should be to strengthen the hand of moderate Muslims.

Muslim organisations tend to have a low level of organisation. The communities in Europe are quite diverse.

You can't get closer to the heart of national sovereignty than national security and intelligence services.

Europe has a long and tragic history of mostly domestic terrorism.

Ultimately, freedom and democracy are stronger than fear and tyranny.

Terrorists have failed in what is arguably al Qaida's most important objective - to trigger revolutions.

The European Borders Agency in Warsaw has been created to help border forces in Europe cooperate more.

I remain optimistic. What we've seen in Europe and the rest of the world is that freedom has a much stronger attraction than radical fundamentalism.

The violent radicals do not legitimately represent the overwhelming majority of the world's Muslims.

If you exchange information internationally, you must strengthen data protection. Those are two sides of the same coin.

Police forces collect information to be used in a public court to get people convicted. Security services gather information that does not necessarily lead to people being prosecuted and in many cases needs to remain confidential.

If information ends up in the wrong hands, the lives of people very often are immediately at risk.

Terrorists always have the advantage of surprise.

The key to tackling Islamist fundamentalism and terrorism from the Islamist community is in the hands of moderate Muslims.

Terrorists have failed to trigger mass conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims in Europe. We should draw strength from that fact.

In the fight against terrorism, national agencies keep full control over their police forces, security and intelligence agencies and judicial authorities.

If you combat an international phenomenon, it is indispensable to share information internationally.

There are no automatic links between poverty and terrorism. Among millions of poor people in the world, only a few turn to terrorism.

We have an integrated picture of the threat from outside and from within that is provided not only to our foreign ministers but also to our justice and interior ministers.

We remain vulnerable. There is no such thing as 100 percent security against terrorism.

The central role in the fight against terrorism is with national authorities.

There is a series of sectors which could be severely disrupted by terrorist attacks, particularly if they were to happen in several member states simultaneously.

I have never come across a technology that doesn't change. This is inevitable. You have to adapt your systems as technology develops.

The majority of the world's Muslims do not believe that terrorism is a legitimate strategy or that Islam is incompatible with democracy.

In intelligence work, there are limits to the amount of information one can share. Confidentiality is essential.

We are familiar with terrorism. But indiscriminate, cross-border, religiously motivated terrorism is new.

In situations of military conflict, civil strife, lawlessness, bad governance, and human rights violations, terrorists find it easier to hide, train and prepare their attacks.

We still lack a global definition of terrorism.

Our strategy should be to strengthen the hand of moderate Muslims.

The idea is to have global standards. There is so much travel that if you just had a regional standard, it would probably ultimately have to be changed.

We're still stymied by the old stand-off between those who wish to fight terrorism and resistance fighters.

Indiscriminate attacks on civilians ought, under all circumstances, to be illegal in war as in peacetime.

Look at Iraq; look at Afghanistan, where at great personal physical risk people have gone to the polls and have rejected the appeal from Bin Laden and his allies to stay at home.

It's important that we work very closely with moderate Muslim forces locally, nationally and internationally.

Reducing the budget for Amtrak makes no sense unless the Administration is prepared to implement a reform strategy which can be supported by the budget request.

Change is not a destination, just as hope is not a strategy.

Living in the past is a Jethro Tull album, not a smart poker strategy.

The world is changing. Networks without a specific branding strategy will be killed. I envision a world of highly niched services and tightly run companies without room for all the overhead the established networks carry.

Churchill knew the importance of peace, and he also knew the price of it. Churchill finally got his voice, of course. He stressed strategy, but it was his voice that armed England at last with the old-fashioned moral concepts of honor and duty, justice and mercy.

I think the players, I put in the book for example that we should go back to wood rackets, probably they laughed at me, I'm a dinosaur, but I think that you see these great players, have even more variety and you see more strategy, there'd be more subtlety.

Our strategy is to defend ourselves against an occupying army and against settlers and settlements.

All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

My strategy has always been to give people just enough of me, then pull back. That way, they'll want more.

The experience and behavior that gets labeled schizophrenic is a special strategy that a person invents in order to live in an unlivable situation.

When an aggressor force continually launches attacks from a particular base of operations, it is sound military strategy to take the flight to the enemy.

There is no development strategy more beneficial to society as a whole - women and men alike - than the one which involves women as central players.

A country's strategy is always based on a fundamental philosophical outlook.

No one talked about the fact that in this year under the Obama administration you've seen the highest casualties in Afghanistan. And the fact that it took him almost 90 days to figure out what his strategy is going to be was absolutely appalling.

Incentives are not strategy, they are tactics. Defensive measures.
