2. "There's no difference between one's killing and making decisions that will send others to kill. It's exactly the same thing."

3. "It's easy to be clever and sarcastic; it's much harder to be simple and kind."

5. "You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity."

6. "Fashion is an imposition, a rein on freedom."

9. "We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us."

10. "Pessimism is a luxury that a Jew can never allow himself."

These quotes, while not explicitly about history, offer insights into Meir's views on various aspects of life, including the impact of the past on the present and the importance of perseverance in the face of challenges.
