May Allah guide us to the good of the kingdom of Bahrain and its loyal people.

If you like your brother and he's prospering, you'll be pleased for him.

Democracy is not just constitutional and legislative rules; it is a culture and practice and adhering by the law and respecting international human rights principles.

Our people have proven their desire for continuing with reforms. We complete the march today with those who have an honest patriotic desire for more progress and reform.

You cannot transpose the U.S. system on Turkey, and the Turkish system on France etc. You have to understand the people and their culture. That's leadership.

History shows that no enemy remains hostile forever, nor do friends remain friendly forever. For that reason, we intend to have normal relations with all.

I care about Bahrain. Bahrain is very dear to me. I will not allow people to play around with our laws.

The decision to open up Bahrain to embrace all people indiscriminately was fostered in me ever since I was a child.

Any government that has a sincere desire for reform and progress should understand the benefit of objective and constructive criticism.

By being friends with all, we are not alone.

It's good to have a leader, otherwise we argue too much.

Perception was easily accomplished, required little effort, and it never had to stand the test of reality.

Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth.

The truth has no agenda.

Nowadays people don't know how to handle it if all the ends aren't tied up and they're not told what to think in films. And if they're challenged, they think it's something wrong with the film.

Everything all of us do is stolen from somebody.

All of the technique doesn't matter... only if the feeling is right.

I don’t believe in following a path set by others. You have to create a path for yourself.

I don't keep diaries; I consider them like birds; I set them free and let them fly to the depths of the past where they belong!

Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone.

We are all born to be a blessing.
