„Молитва выводит человека из мрака. Когда человек покидает этот мрак, он становится человеком, действующим для Всевышнего, он работает, но делает это в угоду Богу, сражается во имя Него, убивает и восстаёт для Него. Молитва не тормозит человеческой деятельности.“

„Конечно, неправильные методы и ошибочные действия прежних коммунистических руководителей в сфере экономики привели к тому, что Вам явился цветущий сад Запада и заворожил Вас, но знайте, что истина не там. Если Вы пожелаете на этом этапе распутать только клубок экономических проблем социализма и коммунизма, обратившись с этой целью к очагам капитализма на Западе, то не только не излечите свое общество от недугов, но придете к тому, что другие будут вынуждены исправлять Ваши ошибки, ибо если ныне марксизм зашел в тупик в своих экономических проблемах, то и западный мир погряз в тех же проблемах, только в другой форме и других сферах. Вам следует обратиться к истине. Основная проблема Вашей страны лежит не в вопросах собственности, экономики и свободы. Ваши трудности заключаются в отсутствии истинной веры в Бога, и это ведет, и будет вести Запад в трясину пошлости, в тупик. Ваша основная трудность заключается в тщетной длительной борьбе против Бога, основного источника бытия и всего сущего.“

“if you hope at this juncture to cut the Gordian knots of socialism and communism by appealing to the center of Western capitalism, you will, far from remedying any of the ills of your society, commit a mistake which those to come will have to erase. For if Marxism has come to a deadlock in its social and economic policies, capitalism has also bogged down.”

“You young people yourselves are capable of performing anything. Our inventors can invent in a high level, Our innovators can innovate in a high level, only if they keep self confidence and believe that we can.”

“From the beginning while we were engaged in these issues, I said in interviews with those who came from abroad, even in Najaf or Paris or among my personal words, I have always said that clerics have an occupation which is more important than these executive jobs, and should Islam become victorious, clerics would dedicate themselves to their own occupation. But as we went on with the revolution, we found out that if we tell all clerics to go after their mosques, this country would fall into the throat of America and Soviet Union. We experienced and saw, those who took the lead but were not clerics, even though some of them were religious people, our revolutionary path was not according to their taste, therefore… we temporarily deviate from our original word until this country could be administered by those other than clerics, then clerics will go back to their preach and their own position and they will leave executive matters to others who work for Islam.”

“In Islam, democracy is included and people are free in Islam, both in expressing their opinions and their actions, until there is no conspiracy and they don't bring up ideas which would deviate Iranian generation.”

“… in our domestic and foreign policy, … we have set as our goal the world-wide spread of the influence of Islam … We wish to cause the corrupt roots of Zionism, capitalism and Communism to wither throughout the world. We wish, as does God almighty, to destroy the systems which are based on these three foundations, and to promote the Islamic order of the Prophet …”
