Tragedy Is Not What Men Suffer But

Our Intention To Regard The Closing Of The Straits As A Casus Belli Was Communicated...to The Foreign Ministers Of Those States Which Had Supported International Navigation In The Straits In 1957 And Thereafter. There Can Be No Doubt That These Warnings Reached Cairo. One Thing Was Now Clear. If Nasser Imposed A Blockade, The Explosion Would Ensue Not From 'miscalculation', But From An Open-eyed And Conscious Readiness For War.

If Algeria Introduced A Resolution Declaring That The Earth Was Flat And That Israel Had Flattened It, It Would Pass By A Vote Of 164 To 13 With 26 Abstentions.

It Is Our Experience That Political Leaders Do Not Always Mean The Opposite Of What They Say.

Science Is Not A Sacred Cow. Science Is A Horse. Don’t Worship It. Feed It. [addressing A Group Of Prospective Contributors To An Israeli Scientific Research Program]

Playing The Game I Have Learned The Meaning Of Humility. It Has Given Me An Understanding Of Futility Of The Human Effort.
