More quotes by 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
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
There was no such thing as Palestinians, they never existed.
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
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
Pessimism is a luxury that a Jew can never allow himself.
Golda Meir

Golda Meir

Golda Meir

Golda Meir
Israel itself is the strongest guarantee against another Holocaust.
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
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
How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to.
Golda Meir
I have always felt sorry for people afraid of feeling, of sentimentality, who are unable to weep with their whole heart. Because those who do not know how to weep do not know how to laugh either.
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.
Golda Meir
We Jews have a secret weapon in our struggle with the Arabs we have no place to go.
Golda Meir
You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
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.
