Herzl, Theodor, 1860-1904; Zionism; Zionists -- Austria -- Biography
But we must first bring enlightenment to men's minds. The idea must
make its way into the most distant, miserable holes where our people
dwell. They will awaken from gloomy brooding, for into their lives
will come a new significance. Every man need think only of himself,
and the movement will assume vast proportions.
And what glory awaits those who fight unselfishly for the cause!
Therefore I believe that a wondrous generation of Jews will spring
into existence. The Maccabeans will rise again.
Let me repeat once more my opening words: The Jews who wish for a
State will have it.
We shall live at last as free men on our own soil, and die peacefully
in our own homes.
The world will be freed by our liberty, enriched by our wealth,
magnified by our greatness.
And whatever we attempt there to accomplish for our own welfare, will
react powerfully and beneficially for the good of humanity.
