More quotes by Golda Meir

Golda Meir
The only alternative to war is peace and the only road to peace is negotiations.
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
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
the modern woman asks herself: Is there something wrong with me if my children don't fill up my life?
Golda Meir
To be successful, a woman has to be much better at her job than a man.
Golda Meir
How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to.
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.
