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
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
Image
There will be peace in the Middle East only when the Arabs love their children more than they hate Israel.
Golda Meir
Image
We say peace and the echo comes back from the other side, war. We dont want wars even when we win.
Golda Meir

We will not forgive you for making us kill your sons.

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
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
Image
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Golda Meir
Image
Can we today measure devotion to husband and children by our indifference to everything else?
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
Zionism and pessimism are not compatible.
Golda Meir
Image
Every civilization finds it necessary to negotiate compromises with its own values.
Golda Meir
Image
It is not a sin to be seventy but it is also no joke.
Golda Meir
Image
Men who have reached and passed forty-five, have a look as if waiting for the secret of the other world, and as if they were perfectly sure of having found out the secret of this.
