* I believe: The day will come when I, tired and weary from hard work, will survey my fields with joy, me in my own land. And no one will say: ‘Go away, you scoundrel, from here; you are a stranger in this land!’ And if anyone finds someone and says so, with force and sword I will defend, I will rise and defend my fields, my rights. [The day will] come! Behind my fields, on my right, on my left, my friends, unlike the friends of the Jewish Social Democrats in Russia, the hands of my friends will not be stained with the blood of my brothers... And if I fall in battle, I will be happy, I know for what I am falling.

* The Jewish people do not want, and it must be said, cannot assimilate. They want to have a proper place among the other civilized peoples; without a special land of their own, they cannot achieve this, and since they need help more than all other peoples, we must come to their aid.

** In a 1906 letter from his brother, in ''מחיי יוסף טרומפלדור'', pp. 4-5.

* If I am going to die, I go with joy, with a light heart, because this is where the thing most precious to me is. Isn't it joy to die with the knowledge that at this price I will receive something in my dear homeland, in the Land of Israel?
