More quotes by Golda Meir

Golda Meir
The Egyptians could run to Egypt, the Syrians into Syria. The only place we could run was into the sea, and before we did that we might as well fight.
Golda Meir
the modern woman asks herself: Is there something wrong with me if my children don't fill up my life?
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
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

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
We say peace and the echo comes back from the other side, war. We dont want wars even when we win.
Golda Meir
Glorious bouquets and storms of applause are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys.
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
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
The only way to eliminate war is to love our children more than we hate our enemies.
Golda Meir
How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to.
Golda Meir
How can I explain the difference to me between America and Russia?.. the America I've known is a place where men on horseback escort union marchers, the Russia I've known is a place where men on horseback slaughter young Socialists and Jews.
