More quotes by 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
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
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
It is true we have won all our wars, but we have paid for them. We don't want victories anymore.
Golda Meir
Those that perished in Hitler's gas chambers were the last Jews to die without standing up to defend themselves.
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
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
Israel itself is the strongest guarantee against another Holocaust.
Golda Meir
Zionism and pessimism are not compatible.
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
Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart, don't know how to laugh either.
Golda Meir
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.
Golda Meir
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Golda Meir
From Russia I didn't bring out a single happy memory, only sad, tragic ones. The nightmare of pogroms, the brutality of Cossacks charging young Socialists, fear, shrieks of terror.
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
I can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do, I was for it regardless of the possible outcome.
Golda Meir
The world hates a Jew who hits back. The world loves us only when we are to be pitied.
Golda Meir
Pessimism is a luxury that a Jew can never allow himself.
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
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
