If history remembers me at all, in any way, I hope it will be as a man who loved the Land of Israel and watched over it in every way he could, all his life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
After I retire, I have my own vision, which is not connected to the state of Israel. It's about me, living near the sea, and maybe writing something about the past.
I think we all want to be remembered for what we did.
It seems unavoidable that history will always link the reestablishment of the State of Israel with the tragedy of the Holocaust.
Never, ever forget history.
I am proud to be the president of the state of Israel.
When I was a kid, I loved history because history to me was a big story.
I don't really care how I am remembered as long as I bring happiness and joy to people.
Israel is my past. My two boys are my future.
Nobody will go on being remembered for a very long time, unless you're Shakespeare or Milton. I have no hope of being remembered at all.
As an observer, I react to the realities of Israeli life with both envy and relief. Nobody wants to live under the threat of constant attack from enemies right next door, under ceaseless and often unfair international scrutiny, defending his homeland by day and living with the memories of mass genocide at night.
