Above all, it is not decency or goodness of gentleness that impresses the Middle East, but strength.

Let us not suffer from a national amnesia that causes us to forget who and what we are.

The difference is that if we turn from the Gentile first, we will have the Almighty as the immediate staff and our comfort. If not, we will have neither the Gentile nor, for a terrible stage, the Almighty.

The banding together by the nations of the world against Israel is the guarantee that their time of destruction is near and the final redemption of the Jew at hand.

I see all this and know that if we are to save the Jewish state and its three-and-a-half million Jews from terrible horrors, we must rise up and demand a fundamental change in the very system of government.

There is the illusion of the world and the reality of the Torah.

The Jew is upset because the nations of the world - the United Nations - lash him, brand him as racist and evil, hate him and openly demonstrate their desire to destroy him.

Surely it is time for Jews, worried over the huge growth of Arabs in Israel, to consider finishing the exchange of populations that began 35 years ago.

It is incumbent upon us to understand our greatness and believe in it so that we do not cheapen and profane ourselves.

Today, Jewish defense is an accepted thing.

The Jewish nation is indeed, the heart of the world and there is no reason for the existence of empires, kings, rulers, masses or systems aside from their reaction to the Jewish people.

Life is essentially a question of values.

Love has its place, as does hate. Peace has its place, as does war. Mercy has its place, as do cruelty and revenge.

The observant Jew has his own sense of values. Torah Judaism is his blueprint for this life, his target for existence.

For so long as the Jew has even one ally, he will be convinced - in his smallness of mind - that his salvation came from that ally. It is only when he is alone - against all of his own efforts and frantic attempts - that he will, through no choice, be compelled to turn to G-d.

One of the great problems with Americans is that - being a decent people - they assume that everyone else is equally decent.

The fact is, that with the creation of the Jewish state in 1948, hundreds of thousands of Jews fled Arab countries, almost all of whom left behind all their property for which compensation was never paid.

We have our own values; we build our own special, our JEWISH life - and we are proud, so very proud.

The Jew does not wish to be isolated. He fears being alone, without allies.

Every man judges his own happiness and satisfaction with life in terms of his possession or lack of possession of those things that he considers worthwhile and valuable.

No trait is more justified than revenge in the right time and place.

If we ever hope to rid the world of the political AIDS of our time, terrorism, the rule must be clear: One does not deal with terrorists; one does not bargain with terrorists; one kills terrorists.

I know that elections must be limited only to those who understand that the Arabs are the deadly enemy of the Jewish state, who would bring on us a slow Auschwitz - not with gas, but with knives and hatchets.

Jews have been in Egypt since Biblical times, and Alexandria had once been, at least partially, a Jewish city.

Never, ever deal with terrorists. Hunt them down and, more important, mercilessly punish those states and groups that fund, arm, support, or simply allow their territories to be used by the terrorists with impunity.

Alabama citizens, like the vast majority of Americans, respect and value the meaning of decency, and appreciate public institutions that reflect the common values of our society.

That past is still within our living memory, a time when neighbour helped neighbour, sharing what little they had out of necessity, as well as decency.

The Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2004 helps address the continuing degradation on the broadcast airwaves and helps send a clear message to the broadcast industry that Alabama families, like the rest of American families, have had enough.

In addition to fines, violators of decency standards could be required to air public service announcements serving educational and informational needs of children.

Western civilization, Christianity, decency are struggling for their very lives. In this worldwide civil war, race prejudice is our most dangerous enemy, for it is a disease at the very root of our democratic life.

The most practical kind of politics is the politics of decency.

That so unlikely an outcome should accrue to a man possessed of such limited talent and so many flaws, and one lacking in a sense of ethics and decency was one of the bitter ironies of history.

As much as we need a prosperous economy, we also need a prosperity of kindness and decency.

Morals are private. Decency is public.

The practice of executing such offenders is a relic of the past and is inconsistent with evolving standards of decency in a civilized society.

Don't overestimate the decency of the human race.

The extent to which all people in our society are made to count, and believe that they count, is not just a measure of decency; it makes sound economic sense.

Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.

People who don't know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.

I've always felt, in all my books, that there's a deep decency in the American people and a native intelligence - providing they have the facts, providing they have the information.

There can be no compromise with war; it cannot be reformed or controlled; cannot be disciplined into decency or codified into common sense.

I say we have not even had the decency to maintain the assets that our parents and grandparents built for us - our roads, our bridges, our wastewater systems, our sewer systems; by the way, those weren't Bolsheviks, those weren't socialists that built those things for us - much less build the infrastructure we need for the 21st century.
