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
We don't want wars even when we win.

Being seventy is not a sin. It's not a joy, either.
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
It is not a sin to be seventy but it is also no joke.
Golda Meir
You can get used to anything if you have to, even feeling perpetually guilty.
Golda Meir
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.
Golda Meir
Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom.
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
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
The world hates a Jew who hits back. The world loves us only when we are to be pitied.
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
How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to.
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
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
