More quotes by Golda Meir
the modern woman asks herself: Is there something wrong with me if my children don't fill up my life?
Golda Meir
We will not forgive you for making us kill your sons.
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
There will be peace in the Middle East only when the Arabs love their children more than they hate Israel.
Golda Meir
The only alternative to war is peace and the only road to peace is negotiations.
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
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
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
Every civilization finds it necessary to negotiate compromises with its own values.
Golda Meir
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Golda Meir
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Golda Meir
It is always much easier, I have discovered, to make people cry or gasp than to make them think.
Golda Meir
Zionism and pessimism are not compatible.
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 only way to eliminate war is to love our children more than we hate our enemies.
Golda Meir
Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom.
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
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.
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
