You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Golda Meir
Image
It's no accident many accuse me of conducting public affairs with my heart instead of my head. Well, what if I do?.. Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart don't know how to laugh either.

I'm a slave to this leaf in a diary that lists what I must do, what I must say, every half hour.

Golda Meir
Image
At work, you think of the children you have left at home. At home, you think of the work you've left unfinished. Such a struggle is unleashed within yourself. Your heart is rent.
Golda Meir
Image
Glorious bouquets and storms of applause are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys.
Golda Meir

The only alternative to war is peace and the only road to peace is negotiations.
Golda Meir

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.
Golda Meir

Zionism and pessimism are not compatible.
Golda Meir
Image
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.

We say peace and the echo comes back from the other side, war. We dont want wars even when we win.
