We don't just rely on a miracle, we plan for it.

Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

The assets of the Jewish Natio...

The assets of the Jewish National Home must be created exclusively through our own work, for only the product of the Hebrew labor can serve as the national estate.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

We consider that the United Nations' ideal is a Jewish ideal.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

Terrorism benefits the Arabs, ...

Terrorism benefits the Arabs, it may lay waste the Yishuv and shake Zionism. But to follow in the Arabs' footsteps and ape their deeds is to be blind to the gulf between us. Our aims and theirs run counter: methods calculated to further theirs, are ruinous to us.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

The acceptance of partition do...

The acceptance of partition does not commit us to renounce Transjordan: one does not demand from anybody to give up his vision. We shall accept a state in the boundaries fixed today, but the boundaries of Zionist aspirations are the concern of the Jewish people and no external factor will be able to limit them.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

Under no circumstances must we...

Under no circumstances must we touch land belonging to fellahs or worked by them. Only if a fellah leaves his place of settlement, should we offer to buy his land, at an appropriate price.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

We must assist the British in the war as if there were no White Paper and we must resist the White Paper as if there were no war.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

It is only in Hebrew that you ...

It is only in Hebrew that you feel the full meaning of it -- all the associations which a different word has.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

We don't consider manual work ...

We don't consider manual work as a curse, or a bitter necessity, not even as a means of making a living. We consider it as a high human function, as the basis of human life, the most dignified thing in the life of the human being, and which ought to be free, creative. Men ought to be proud of it.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

A partial Jewish State is not ...

A partial Jewish State is not the end, but only the beginning. ... I am certain that we well not be prevented from settling in the other parts of the country, either by mutual agreements with our Arab neighbors or by some other means. . . [If the Arabs refuse] we shall have to speak to them in another language. But we shall only have another language if we have a state.

The past is our very being....

The past is our very being.

To shatter even the largest stones on earth, it takes only a small quantity of explosive powder.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

The most dangerous enemy to Israel's security is the intellectual inertia of those who are responsible for security.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

Israel will not discuss a peace involving the concession of any piece of territory. The neighboring states do not deserve an inch of Israel's land. . . . We are ready for exchange for peace.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

In the land of Israel was born...

In the land of Israel was born the Jewish nation. There came an order to kill the religious and social spirit of the people. . . . And after the nation turned back to its land with strength, it protected it steadfastly. . . .

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

A Christian state should be es...

A Christian state should be established [in Lebanon], with its southern border on the Litani river. We will make an alliance with it. When we smash the Arab Legion's strength and bomb Amman, we will eliminate Transjordan too, and then Syria will fall. If Egypt still dares to fight on, we shall bomb Port Said, Alexandria and Cairo.... And in this fashion, we will end the war and settle our forefathers' account with Egypt, Assyria, and Aram.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

We must do everything to insure they [the Palestinians] never do return.... The old will die and the young will forget.

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

I were an Arab leader, I would...

I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?

David Ben-Gurion 86 quotes

The present map of Palestine was drawn by the British mandate. The Jewish people have another map which our youth and adults should strive to fulfill: from the Nile to the Euphrates.
