If you will it, it is no dream

Universal brotherhood is not even a beautiful dream. Antagonism is essential to man's greatest efforts.

Realists are, as a rule, only men in the rut of routine who are incapable of transcending a narrow circle of antiquated notions.

When I remember thee in days to come, O Jerusalem, it will not be with pleasure. The musty deposits of 2,000 years of inhumanity, intolerance, and uncleanliness lie in the foul-smelling alleys... The amiable dreamer of Nazareth has only contributed to increasing the hatred... What superstition and fanaticism on every side!

I prefer being penetrated by iron to seeing Palestine is loose.

Dreams and actions are not so different as usually thought, as all actions of men are founded upon dreams, and their end - is a dream too.

If whole branches of Jews must be destroyed, it is worth it, as long as a Jewish state in Palestine is created.
