If you want total security, go to prison. There, you are fed, clothed, given medical car and so on. The only thing lacking is freedom.

Our forces saved the remnants of the Jewish people of Europe for a new life and a new hope in the reborn land of Israel. Along with all men of good will, I salute the young state and wish it well.
