“You can get used to anything if you have to, even feeling perpetually guilty.”

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.

I must govern the clock, not be governed by it.

Those who don’t know how to weep with their whole heart, don’t know how to laugh either.

Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short.

We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel.

Everybody feels the evil, but no one has courage or energy enough to seek the cure.

I feel as a brand I’m here to be around for a long time.
