More quotes by Golda Meir
To be successful, a woman has to be much better at her job than a man.
Golda Meir
Those that perished in Hitler's gas chambers were the last Jews to die without standing up to defend themselves.
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
How does it feel to be a woman minister? I don't know I've never been a man minister.
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
It is true we have won all our wars, but we have paid for them. We don't want victories anymore.
Golda Meir
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.
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
Don't become cynical. Don't give up hope. Don't believe that everything is judged only by expediency. There is idealism in this world. There is human brotherhood.
Golda Meir
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.
Golda Meir
There will be peace in the Middle East only when the Arabs love their children more than they hate Israel.
Golda Meir
We can forgive [the Arabs] for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with [the Arabs] when they love their children more than they hate us...
Golda Meir
Israel itself is the strongest guarantee against another Holocaust.
Golda Meir
There was no such thing as Palestinians, they never existed.
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
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
Every civilization finds it necessary to negotiate compromises with its own values.
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.
Golda Meir
The only alternative to war is peace and the only road to peace is negotiations.
Golda Meir
Anybody who believes in something without reservation believes that this thing is right and should be, has the stamina to meet obstacles and overcome them.
Golda Meir
