- I cannot abandon my dear wife and children. I would rather die than abandon all of you.
- Benazir Bhutto is like the Shakespearean tragedy. The people of Pakistan want her, the world appreciates her, her qualifications are beyond comparison in Pakistan, but yet some feel they can do without her. She has managed to keep herself intact, her charisma intact, me intact in prison, the party intact, the public support intact. You must remember the tremendous odds that she was fighting against. For a singular party or a singular lady, or even a man for that matter, to bear it and manage to survive is a great victory. There is nothing that the establishment didn't do against us. I told one establishment representative that there are people in politics around because of you and some are there despite you, so please give us that respect. - (on Benazir Bhutto (2005))
- It's not a sad day...it is the darkest, gloomiest day in the history of this country and in my whole life. (On Benazir Bhutto's assassination.)
- (on his wife in United Nations General Assembly - Sep 2008) The Bhutto doctrine of reconciliation is a road map not only to a new Pakistan, but to a new era of peace and co-operation between East and West, between people of all faiths, a road map that if followed will avoid a clash of civilizations and clash of religions that is the terrorists' ultimate goal. The Bhutto doctrine is the new century's equivalent of the Marshall Plan that saved Europe after World War II.
- Benazir Bhutto's assassination was a kind of shock that could shake Pakistan for years.
