THE WIT OF FORMER ISRAELI STATESMAN, ABBA EBAN

*

ON STATESMANSHIP

A statesman who keeps his ear permanently glued to the ground will have neither
elegance of posture nor flexibility
of movement.

*
ON THE CREDIBILITY OF
POLITICAL LEADERS

It is our experience that political leaders
do not always mean the opposite
of what they say.


*

ON THE WISDOM OF NATIONS


Men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all the other alternatives.


*
ON U.N. VOTING

If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had
flattened it, it would pass by
a vote of 164 to 13 with
26 abstentions.

לֵב שָׂמֵחַ יֵיטִב גֵּהָה וְרוּחַ נְכֵאָה תְּיַבֶּשׁ־גָּרֶם׃

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine;
but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

(Proverbs 17:22)
