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.

More quotes by 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
It is not only a matter, I believe, of religious observance and practice. To me, being Jewish means and has always meant being proud to be part of a people that has maintained its distinct identity for more than 2,000 years, with all the pain and torment that has been inflicted upon it.
Golda Meir
Women's liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It's men who are discriminated against. They can't bear children. And no one is likely to do anything about that.
Golda Meir
There's no difference between one's killing and making decisions that will send others to kill. It's exactly the same thing, or even worse.
Golda Meir
Those that perished in Hitler's gas chambers were the last Jews to die without standing up to defend themselves.
Golda Meir
Once in a Cabinet we had to deal with the fact that there had been an outbreak of assaults on women at night. One minister suggested a curfew women should stay home after dark. I said, 'But it's the men who are attacking the women. If there's to be a curfew, let the men stay home, not the women.
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
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
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
The only way to eliminate war is to love our children more than we hate our enemies.
Golda Meir
We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel.
Golda Meir
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
The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.
Golda Meir
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Golda Meir
Pessimism is a luxury that a Jew can never allow himself.
Golda Meir
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Golda Meir
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
How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to.
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
How does it feel to be a woman minister? I don't know I've never been a man minister.
