Ravi Zacharias Quotes

A bunch of cowardly terrorists cannot make us fearful.

The purpose of terrorism lies not just in the violent act itself. It is in producing terror. It sets out to inflame, to divide, to produce consequences which they then use to justify further terror.

The uncertainty of the danger belongs to the essence of terrorism.

Terrorists are not 100 feet tall. Nor do they deserve the abject fear they seek to instill.

The purpose behind terrorism is to instill fear in people - the fear that electrical power, for instance, will be taken away or the transportation system will be taken down.

I am confident that the British people will not be intimidated by terrorism.

I always say that non-violence is not the weapon of the weak. It is the weapon of the strong.

Fundamentally, terrorism is about public relations.

The point of terrorism is to cause terror, sometimes to further a political goal and sometimes out of sheer hatred. The people terrorists kill are not the targets; they are collateral damage. And blowing up planes, trains, markets or buses is not the goal; those are just tactics. The real targets of terrorism are the rest of us: the billions of us who are not killed but are terrorized because of the killing. The real point of terrorism is not the act itself, but our reaction to the act. And we're doing exactly what the terrorists want.

What the terrorists want is to scare us and fill us with dread.

We must have the right to name our fears and laugh at those who seek to scare us - or risk giving in to terrorists.

Terrorism is not a sign of courage. It means cowardice.

Putting fear into people is the principal goal of terrorists, and they have been successful.

I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the people who cut off peoples' heads on television to intimidate, to frighten indeed the word 'terrorized' is just that. Its purpose is to terrorize, to alter behavior, to make people be something other than that which they want to be.

I find my greatest strength in wanting to be strong. I find my greatest bravery in deciding to be brave. I don't know if I've ever realized it before,[...] I think we both realize it now. If there's no feeling of fear, then there's no need for courage.

There are many people who live with terrorism every day.

Assassinate me you may; intimidate me you cannot.

All terrorism is theater.
