More quotes by Golda Meir
It is not a sin to be seventy but it is also no joke.
Golda Meir
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Golda Meir
The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.
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
Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart, don't know how to laugh either.
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
Zionism and pessimism are not compatible.
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
Pessimism is a luxury that a Jew can never allow himself.
Golda Meir
We Jews have a secret weapon in our struggle with the Arabs we have no place to go.
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
The only alternative to war is peace and the only road to peace is negotiations.
Golda Meir
We don't want wars even when we win.
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
From Russia I didn't bring out a single happy memory, only sad, tragic ones. The nightmare of pogroms, the brutality of Cossacks charging young Socialists, fear, shrieks of terror.
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
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
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
I have given instructions that I be informed everytime one of our soldiers is killed, even if it is in themiddle of the night. When President Nasser leavesinstructions that he is to be awakened in the middleof the night if an Egyptian soldier is killed, there willbe peace.
Golda Meir
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
