More quotes by 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
To be successful, a woman has to be much better at her job than a man.
Golda Meir
If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we'd rather be alive and have the bad image.
Golda Meir
It is always much easier, I have discovered, to make people cry or gasp than to make them think.
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
How does it feel to be a woman minister? I don't know I've never been a man minister.
Golda Meir
We don't want wars even when we win.
Golda Meir
Every civilization finds it necessary to negotiate compromises with its own values.
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
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
It is not a sin to be seventy but it is also no joke.
Golda Meir
Being seventy is not a sin. It's not a joy, either.
Golda Meir
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
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
I have always felt sorry for people afraid of feeling, of sentimentality, who are unable to weep with their whole heart. Because those who do not know how to weep do not know how to laugh either.
Golda Meir
Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom.
Golda Meir
Pessimism is a luxury that a Jew can never allow himself.
Golda Meir
We will not forgive you for making us kill your sons.
Golda Meir
The world hates a Jew who hits back. The world loves us only when we are to be pitied.
Golda Meir
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
Golda Meir
