The Palestinian state is within our grasp. Soon the Palestinian flag will fly on the walls, the minarets and the cathedrals of Jerusalem.

The Palestinian people have no national identity. I, Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel.

Choose your friends carefully. Your enemies will choose you.

Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations...

I come bearing an olive branch in one hand, and the freedom fighter's gun in the other. Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand.

All religious wars are about people arguing over who has the biggest invisible friend.

Whoever stands by a just cause cannot possibly be called a terrorist.

The victory march will continue until the Palestinian flag flies in Jerusalem and in all of Palestine.

Martyrs, martyrs, martyrs,... we want a million martyrs to march on Jerusalem.

We will not bend or fail until the blood of every last Jew from the youngest child to the oldest elder is spilt to redeem our land!

We do not want to destroy any people. It is precisely because we have been advocating coexistence that we have shed so much blood.

Most people fail in leadership b/c they think when they should be working and work when they should be thinking.

I may die young, but at least I'll die smart.... If you can't be seven feet tall, be seven feet smart...Best advice I can ever give you.

Conflict of interest. I wanted to date somebody who was less screwed up than me, and she wasn't.

At first I wasn't sure that I had the talent, but I did know I had a fear of failure, and that fear compelled me to fight off anything that might abet it.

I believe God takes the things in our lives - family, background, education - and uses them as part of his calling. It might not be to become a pastor. But I don't think God wastes anything.

Set goals that are BOLD enough to scare you, but inspiring and exciting enough for you to commit 100% to!

I believe that the struggle against death, the unconditional and self-willed determination to live, is the mode of power behind the lives and activities of all outstanding men.

Be happy. If you're successful but unhappy, that's emptiness.

Big things are built one brick at a time. Victories are achieved one choice at a time. A life well lived is chosen one day at a time.

Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, 'you owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that! It lights up the whole sky.
