Thomas Friedman Quotes About Spring

• I don't think the Arab Spring had much to do with energy. I think it was just the opposite, in fact. I think the Arab Spring happened because particularly young people knew they were living in a context where they could not realize their full potential, that they are being kept down by their own governments.

  Thomas Friedman

  Spring, Thinking, Government

• Estoy siendo muy humilde sobre la Primavera Árabe. Hay una especie de competición ahí fuera, ya se habrán dado cuenta, de quién puede ser el primero en decir que la Primavera Árabe va a fracasar. Todo el mundo dice: "Os lo dije, os lo dije sobre los Hermanos Musulmanes". No tengo ganas de decirle nada a nadie. No lo sé. Sólo estoy escuchando, observando. Puede que todas estas personas tengan razón, puede que se equivoquen. Pueden tener razón este año y estar equivocados el año que viene, por cierto. Sólo intento escuchar día a día, averiguarlo.

  Spring, Humble, Years

• I think that the drama of people rising up demanding their own freedom is one that resonates very deeply with America. I think that President Barack Obama has tried and would like to find a way to relate to the Arab Spring, but I think he also wants to be, rightly, very careful that we don't take it over. It is very important that they own this. He is trying to influence it this way but without, "We're so never going to go to the extreme of Iraq and putting boots on the ground again."
