What can I say about all these quotes by Sadat except WOW. You guys can probably tell by now that I love quotes. The trick of them is that they say so much with so few words....
I remember when Anwar Sadat was assassinated. It really was a shocking and very sad time as he was such an amazing man. It will be interesting to see what Nic brings to his role and if any of Sadat's personal beliefs (such as these quotes) affect him profoundly.
Great find, Mara!

Since Nic is slated to play him, I did some research. He was killed when I was very young and I didnīt recall just how interesting this man was... Read some quotes of his:
"Fear is, I believe, a most effective tool in destroying the soul of an individual - and the soul of a people."
"Most people seek after what they do not possess and are enslaved by the very things they want to acquire."
"Peace is much more precious than a piece of land... let there be no more wars."
"There can be hope only for a society which acts as one big family, not as many separate ones."
"There is no happiness for people at the expense of other people."
