Theodor Herzl quotes
" A people can be helped only by its own efforts, and if it cannot help itself it is beyond succor. We Zionists want to rouse the people to self-help. "

Theodor Herzl
" But I am convinced that those Jews who stand aside today with a malicious smile and with their hands in their trousers' pockets will also want to dwell in our beautiful home. "

Theodor Herzl
" But we wish to give the Jews a Homeland. Not by dragging them ruthlessly out of their sustaining soil, but rather by removing them carefully, roots and all, to a better terrain. "

Theodor Herzl
" Economic distress, political pressure, and social obloquy already drive us from our homes and from our graves. The Jews are already constantly shifting from place to place. "

Theodor Herzl
" Four years ago in speaking of a Jewish nation one ran the risk of being regarded ridiculous. Today he makes himself ridiculous who denies the existence of a Jewish nation. "

Theodor Herzl
" Given to Jews their rightful position as a people, I am convinced they would develop a distinct Jewish cult national characteristics and national aspirations -which would make for the progress of mankind. "

Theodor Herzl
" Hitherto, the destitute Jews were the anvil, and the anti-Semites the hammer. Woe to those who get caught between hammer and the anvil. "

Theodor Herzl
" 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. "

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

Theodor Herzl
" If anyone thinks that Jews can steal into the land of their fathers, he is deceiving either himself or others. Nowhere is the coming of Jews so promptly noted as in the historic home of the Jews, for the very reason that it is the historic home. "

Theodor Herzl
" In Paris, as I have said, I achieved a freer attitude toward anti-Semitism, which I now began to understand historically and to pardon. "

Theodor Herzl
" Is Palestine or Argentine to be preferred? The Society will take what is given to it and what is selected by the public opinion of the Jewish people. "

Theodor Herzl
" It goes without saying that the Jewish people can have no other goal than Palestine and that, whatever the fate of the proposition may be, our attitude toward the land of our fathers is and shall remain unchangeable. "

Theodor Herzl
" 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. "

Theodor Herzl
" Let sovereignty be granted us over a portion of the earth's surface large enough to satisfy our rightful requirements as a nation. The rest we shall manage for ourselves. "

Theodor Herzl
