We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel.

You can't improve on saying nothing.
Golda Meir
Image
We only want that which is given naturally to all peoples of the world, to be masters of our own fate, not of others, and in cooperation and friendship with others.
Golda Meir
Image
We will not forgive you for making us kill your sons.

To be successful, a woman has to be much better at her job than a man.
Golda Meir

Can we today measure devotion to husband and children by our indifference to everything else?
Golda Meir

The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.

Pessimism is a luxury that a Jew can never allow himself.
Golda Meir
Image
The world hates a Jew who hits back. The world loves us only when we are to be pitied.
