Anwar el-Sadat

Today marks the anniversary of the death of Anwar el-Sadat who was President of Egypt from 1970, until radical extremists assassinated him during the Armed Forces Day parade.

Here are a few quotes from this Nobel Peace Prize winner (He shared the prize with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.)

 I was brought up to believe that how I saw myself was more important than how others saw me.

Fear is, I believe, a most effective tool in destroying the soul of an individual - and the soul of a people.


There is no happiness for people at the expense of other people.
