Quote of The Day - Theodore Herzl, June 11, 1901

 

Do not rely on the help of foreigners nor on that of benefactors; do not hope that stones will become soft. Because benefactors give humiliating donations at most, and stones do not soften. A people that wants to stand upright must put all its trust in itself alone. -- Theodore Herzl, as quoted by Benjamin Netanyahu on Yom Ha'atzmaut, 5770.
