A Jew who does not believe in miracles is not a realist. (David Ben Gurion) All things are mortal, but the Jew. All other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality? (Mark Twain) The Jew is the emblem of eternity. He who neither slaughter nor torture of thousands of years could destroy, he who neither fire, nor sword, nor Inquisition was able to wipe off the face of the earth. He who was the first to produce the Oracles of God. He who has been for so long the Guardian of Prophecy and has transmitted it to the rest of the world. Such a nation cannot be destroyed. The Jew is as everlasting as Eternity itself. (Leo Nikolaivitch Tolstoy) As civilization extended, they by one means or another became most wonderfully dispersed through all countries; and at this day they are almost literally everywhere, the most conspicuous, and in the eye of reason and religion, the most respectable nation on the face of the earth. (Joseph Priestly) The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. (President John Adams)
