This platform is unchangeable  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) Do you know out of what the German Empire arose? Out of dreams, songs, fantasies and black-red-gold ribbons? Bismarck merely shook the tree that fantasies had planted  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) In Paris ... I achieved a freer attitude towards anti-Semitism, which I now began to understand historically and to pardon. Above all I recognise the emptiness and futility of trying to ‘combat’ anti-Semitism.  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) 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 Quotes) Universal brotherhood is not even a beautiful dream. Antagonism is essential to man’s greatest efforts.  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) 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.  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) Whoever would change men must change the conditions of their lives  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) The wealth of a country is its working people  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) The character of a people may be ruined by charity  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) Philanthropic colonization is a failure. National colonization will succeed  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) If you will it, it is no dream  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) 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  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) Dream and deed are not as different as many think. All the deeds of men are dreams at first, and become dreams in the end  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) We believe that salvation is to be found in wholesome work in a beloved land. Work will provide our people with the bread of tomorrow, and moreover, with the honor of the tomorrow, the freedom of the tomorrow  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) Our opponents maintain that we are confronted with insurmountable political obstacles, but that may be said of the smallest obstacle if one has no desire to surmount it  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) Nothing prevents us from being and remaining the exponents of a united humanity, when we have a country of our own.

Antagonism is essential to man’s greatest efforts  (Theodor Herzl Quotes) We must expropriate gently the private property on the state assigned to us. We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it employment in our country.
