More quotes by 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
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
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.

Those that perished in Hitler's gas chambers were the last Jews to die without standing up to defend themselves.

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 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
You can't improve on saying nothing.
Golda Meir
There's no difference between one's killing and making decisions that will send others to kill. It's exactly the same thing, or even worse.
Golda Meir
I want to say to you, friends, that the Jewish community in Palestine is going to fight to the very end. If we have arms to fight with, we will fight with those, and if not, we will fight with stones in our hands.
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
To be successful, a woman has to be much better at her job than a man.
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
Can we today measure devotion to husband and children by our indifference to everything else?
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
We only want that which is given naturally to all peoples of the world, to be masters of our own fate, not of others, and in cooperation and friendship with others.
Golda Meir
