David Ben-Gurion

The Jewish people will never again be led like sheep to the slaughter.

The question is not whether we are strong enough, but whether we are worthy.

The greatest danger to Israel is not external, but internal.

We have no choice but to succeed.

My conscience is clear, but my stomach is not.

We are creating a new man, the Israeli.

The future is in the hands of the young generation.

The only thing that matters is the Jewish people.

I never gave up on the dream of a Jewish state.

We must educate our children to love their land and their people.

The Jewish people have returned to their homeland, never to be uprooted again.

A Jewish state, not a state of Jews.

I am a simple Jew, but I have a big dream.

The State of Israel is the fulfillment of a two-thousand-year-old dream.

We must be a nation like all other nations, but also a unique nation.

The world will judge us by our deeds, not by our words.

I believe in the power of the human spirit.

The struggle for independence is never over.

We are here to stay.
