“I believe I understand anti-Semitism which is a very complex movement. I see it as a Jew, but without hatred or fear. I recognize what is anti-Semitism is rude jesting, vulgar jealousy of métier, hereditary prejudice; but also what can be considered as in fact legitimate defence.” BelieveFactsI BelieveMovementHatredPrejudiceComplexesJewRudeVulgarDefenceAnti SemitismHereditary Author:Theodor Herzl
“Get to know yourself. Know your own failings, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see. Know also when you actually have thought through to the nature of the thing with which you are dealing and when you are not thinking at all... Knowing yourself and knowing the facts, you can judge whether you can change the situation so it is more to your liking. If you cannot--or if you do not know how to improve on things--then discipline yourself to the adjustments that will be necessary.” IfsThinkingKnowsFactsPassionSituationKnow HowKnowingFailingJudgingDisciplinePrejudiceKnow YourselfAdjustment Author:Bernard Baruch

“I believe with all my heart that civilization has produced nothing finer than a man or woman who thinks and practices true tolerance. Some one has said that most of us don't think, we just occasionally rearrange our prejudices. And I suspect that even today, with all the progress we have made in liberal thought, the quality of true tolerance is as rare as the quality of mercy. That men of all creeds have fundamental common objectives is a fact one must learn by the process of education. How to work jointly toward these objectives must be learned by experience.” ThinkingMenBelieveHeartArtMadeSaidFactsTodayBeliefI BelieveProcessCommonEducationQualityPracticeProgressMy HeartCivilizationMercyPrejudiceFundamentalsToleranceObjectivesHaving FunSuspectsCreeds Author:Frank Knox
