There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.

I am proud of my part in the creation of this new state. Our Government was the first to recognize the State of Israel.

I had faith in Israel before it was established, I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it - not just another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.

The only new thing is history we don't know.

Democracy is based on the conviction that man has the moral and intellectual capacity, as well as the inalienable right, to govern himself with reason and justice.
