 The Jewish people asked nothing of its sons except not to be denied. The world is grateful to every great man when he brings it something; only the paternal home thanks the son who brings nothing but himself. |
| Those of us who are today prepared to hazard our lives for the cause would regret having raised a finger, if we were able to organize only a new social system and not a more righteous one. |
| Nothing prevents us from being and remaining the exponents of a united humanity, when we have a country of our own. To fulfill this mission we do not have to remain literally planted among the nations who hate and despise us. |
| Palestine is our unforgettable historic home. The very name would be a force of marvelous potency for summoning our people together. |
| If you will it, it is no dream. |
| It is true that we aspire to our ancient land. But what we want in that ancient land is a new blossoming of the Jewish spirit. |
| I incline to an aristocratic republic. This would satisfy the ambitious spirit among our people. We shall learn from the historic mistakes of others in the same way as we learn from our own; for we are a modern nation and wish to be the most modern in the world. |
