King Hussein of Jordan dedicated his life - I witnessed it in his sleeping as well as waking hours - to trying to break through the impasses keeping people apart. He understood that the security and prosperity of any one of us in this world depends on the security and prosperity enjoyed by others. As Martin Luther King said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." In the Middle East, nothing could be more true.

Queen Noor of Jordan

I have in the past declared that in order to achieve a real, just and durable peace, I would be willing to make painful compromises. But we cannot make any compromise on the security of our citizens and their right to live without the threat of terrorism and violence.

Ariel Sharon

Iraq both poses a continuing threat to the national security of the United States and international peace and security in the Persian Gulf region and remains in material and unacceptable breach of its international obligations by, among other things, continuing to possess and develop a significant chemical and biological weapons capability, actively seeking a nuclear weapons capability, and supporting and harboring terrorist organizations.

Hillary Clinton

I think NATO is obsolete. NATO was done at a time you had the Soviet Union, which was obviously larger - much larger than Russia is today. I'm not saying Russia is not a threat. But we have other threats. We have the threat of terrorism. And NATO doesn't discuss terrorism. NATO's not meant for terrorism. NATO doesn't have the right countries in it for terrorism.

Donald Trump

My immediate priorities are peace and stability. I want to differentiate between stability and security: Stability comes from the hearts of people and acceptance of the judicial system. Security comes from the barrel of a gun and the threat of the use of force. We're seeing violence at an unprecedented level. We've become numb to bloodletting. Enduring peace cannot come unless we build a state that can guarantee our individual rights and obligations.

Ashraf Ghani

I opposed the war in Iraq because I did not believe it was in our national security interest, and I still don't. What we [America] did was akin to taking a baseball bat to a beehive. Our primary security threat right now is terrorism - and by doing what we did in Iraq, we've managed to alienate a good part of the world and most of the allies whose intelligence and other help we need to combat and defeat terrorism.

Jerry Springer

Climate change poses a serious threat to global prosperity, security and wellbeing.

Layla Moran

One of the most significant threats to our national security was and is home-grown Islamist terrorism.

Jed Mercurio

An environment of peace and security is essential for regional cooperation to progress and achieve economic development and prosperity of our people.

Sushma Swaraj

The prosperity that drives our economic security is inherently linked to our national security. And the immense influence that the Chinese government holds over Chinese corporations like Huawei represents a threat to both.

Christopher A. Wray

I do take the threat of terrorism seriously. You cannot eliminate that threat or diminish that threat by bombing a country.

Howard Zinn

Climate change is and will be a significant threat to our national security and in a larger sense to life on earth as we know it to be.

Gordon R. Sullivan

In the question of peace, people spoke up and demonstrated for peace and against the threat of war, the threat of atomic war.

Stefan Heym

Prosperity and security are ours in heaven. We will live in peace and safety.

Paul P. Enns

In the Pentagon Papers case, the government asserted in the Supreme Court that the publication of the material was a threat to national security. It turned out it was not a threat to U.S. security. But even if it had been, that doesn't mean that it couldn't be published.

Alan Dershowitz

Gender based violence anywhere is a threat to peace and security everywhere.

John F. Kerry
