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
Image
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
Image
Can we today measure devotion to husband and children by our indifference to everything else?
Golda Meir
Image
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
Image
The only way to eliminate war is to love our children more than we hate our enemies.
Golda Meir
Image
The only alternative to war is peace and the only road to peace is negotiations.
Golda Meir
Image
The world hates a Jew who hits back. The world loves us only when we are to be pitied.
Golda Meir
Image
We say peace and the echo comes back from the other side, war. We dont want wars even when we win.

Being seventy is not a sin. It's not a joy, either.
