“We will not forgive you for making us kill your sons.”

It is not a sin to be seventy but it is also no joke.

We Jews have a secret weapon in our struggle with the Arabs; we have no place to go.

Not being beautiful was the true blessing. Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome.

Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom.

It is true we have won all our wars, but we have paid for them. We don’t want victories anymore.

Zionism and pessimism are not compatible.

Can we today measure devotion to husband and children by our indifference to everything else?

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.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.

One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.

I don’t want to have a bad influence on anybody, but there’s no point in my giving up cigarettes now. I won’t die young.

You can’t improve on saying nothing.

You must ask for God’s help. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again.

I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am living the very best way I know how.

Forgiving someone isn’t just about doing good to another. It’s also about healing a scar in your own heart.

Forgiveness is the choice to see people as they are now. When we’re mad at people, we’re angry because of something they said or did before this moment. By letting go of the past, we make room for miracles to replace our grievances.

Part of forgiving people is releasing them from our own agendas.

In the end, forgiveness simply means never putting another person out of our heart.

I am learning to forgive all those who are not sorry.

Forgiveness is an art.
