To our Palestinian neighbours, I assure you that we have a genuine intention to respect your right to live independently and in dignity. I have already said that Israel has no desire to continue to govern over you and control your fate. – Ariel Sharon
I am 73 years old. Ive seen everything. Ive met the kings, the queens, the presidents, Ive been around the world. I have one thing that I would like to do: to try to reach peace. – Ariel Sharon
Peace should provide security. It should be durable. Im ready to go far in making painful concessions. But there is one thing I will never make any concessions on and thats the security of the Israeli citizens and the very existence of the state of Israel. The Palestinians are losing time. – Ariel Sharon
My strength never came from political echelons, it came from the family. And from the fields and the lands and the flowers and everything I see there. My strength came from there. – Ariel Sharon
