There will be peace in the Middle East only when the Arabs love their children more than they hate Israel.
Golda Meir
It is not a sin to be seventy but it is also no joke.
Golda Meir
Those that perished in Hitler's gas chambers were the last Jews to die without standing up to defend themselves.
Golda Meir
The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.
Golda Meir
The Egyptians could run to Egypt, the Syrians into Syria. The only place we could run was into the sea, and before we did that we might as well fight.
Golda Meir
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Golda Meir
You can get used to anything if you have to, even feeling perpetually guilty.
Golda Meir

Golda Meir
There is no such thing as a Palestinian people... It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn't exist.
Golda Meir
the modern woman asks herself: Is there something wrong with me if my children don't fill up my life?
Golda Meir
My dear, old age is like an airplane flying in a storm. Once you're in it there's nothing you can do. You can't stop a plane, you can't stop a storm, you can't stop time. So you might as well take it easy, with wisdom.
Golda Meir
But the individual was not a tool for something. He was the maker of tools. He was the one who must build. Even for the best purpose it is criminal to turn an individual into simply a means for some ultimate end. A society in which the dignity of the individual is destroyed cannot hope to be a decent society.
Golda Meir
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
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Golda Meir
You can't improve on saying nothing.
Golda Meir
We say peace and the echo comes back from the other side, war. We dont want wars even when we win.
Golda Meir
There is only one thing I hope to see before I die, and that is that my people should not need expressions of sympathy anymore.
Golda Meir
Arab sovereignty in Jerusalem just cannot be. This city will not be divided - not half and half, not 60-40, not 75-25, nothing.
Golda Meir
There was no such thing as Palestinians, they never existed.
Golda Meir
Any one who speaks in favor of bringing the Arab refugees back must also say how he expects to take the responsibility for it, if he is interested in the state of Israel. It is better that things are stated clearly and plainly: We shall not let this happen.
