A humble scientist is a good scientist.

The frontiers of science, on the very small scale and very large scale, require large investments and international effort.

Colleges will try to get the good students. That's the way to go. When I chaired my department of Materials Engineering at the Technion in 1990, we started a program for which we set the bar very high. It was the highest at the Technion, above electrical engineering and medicine.

I can unite the people of Israel, so I won't speak about controversial issues, which divide the people.

I hope that I have had some effect on the fact that Israel is a start-up nation.

In the forefront of science, there is not much difference between religion and science. People harbor beliefs. That's what happens when people believe something religiously.

I know there is a stereotype that I am naive, but I know what I want, and I know what I'm doing to get there.

In most cases, the news is not really news. But in some cases, discoveries are made and should be listened to.

I'm proud of my family, very proud - I have ten grandchildren, four children, and one wife.

The message from the Technion when I was a student was: 'You will be so good that when you graduate, everyone will want to hire you.'
