“He received me not only cordially, but he was also full of confidence with respect to the war. His first words, after he had welcomed me, were as follows: 'Well, Dr. Weismann, we have as good as beaten them already.' I...thanked him for his constant support for the Zionist course. 'You were standing at the cradle of this enterprise.' I said to him, 'and hopefully you will live to see that we have succeeded.' Adding that after the war we would build up a state of three to four million Jews in Palestine, whereupon he replied: 'Yes, go ahead, I am full in agreement with this idea.'” FirstsWellsSaidIdeasWarStatesThreeCoursesMillionsSupportFourStandingConstantJewHopefullyEnterpriseAgreementDrsBeatenPalestineCradleZionist Author:Chaim Weizmann

“...But nature does not say that cats are more valuable than mice; nature makes no remark on the subject. She does not even say that the cat is enviable or the mouse pitiable. We think the cat superior because we have (or most of us have) a particular philosophy to the effect that life is better than death. But if the mouse were a German pessimist mouse, he might not think that the cat had beaten him at all. He might think he had beaten the cat by getting to the grave first.” IfsThinkingFirstsDoePhilosophyMightLife IsSubjectsEffectsParticularCatValuableGravesSuperiorsMiceBeatenRemarksPessimist Book:The Essential Gilbert K.
