“The Jewish question exists wherever the Jews live, however small their number. Where it does not exist it is imported by Jew immigrants. We naturally go where we are not persecuted, and, still persecution is the result of our appearance...By persecution we cannot be exterminated...the strong Jews turn proudly to their race when persecution bursts out. Entire branches of Judaism may disappear, break away; the tree lives.” MayDoeStillsTurnsStrongResultsNumbersRaceBreakTreeJewAppearanceDisappearBranchesImmigrantsPersecutionJudaismPersecutedTree Of Life Author:Theodor Herzl
“It must be an independent House, having a free action of its own, for it is only valuable as being a regulating body, calmly considering the legislation initiated by the popular branch, and preventing any hasty or ill considered legislation which may come from that body, but it will never set itself in opposition against the deliberate and understood wishes of the people.” PeopleMayBodyActionHouseWishUnderstoodIndependentIllValuableBranchesOppositionConsideringLegislationDeliberatePreventingHasty Author:John A.

“The art of politics, under democracy, is simply the art of ringing it. Two branches reveal themselves. There is the art of the demagogue, and there is the art of what may be called, by a shot-gun marriage of Latin and Greek, the demaslave. They are complementary, and both of them are degrading to their practitioners. The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. The demaslave is one who listens to what these idiots have to say and then pretends that he believes it himself.” KnowsMenBelieveMayArtTwoDemocracyGunShotsDoctrineIdiotGreekBranchesLatinUntrueDegradingComplementaryLatin And Greek Author:H.

“The progressive historical role of capitalism may be summed up in two brief propositions: increase in the productive forces of social labour, and the socialisation of that labour. But both these facts manifest themselves in extremely diverse processes in different branches of the national economy.” MayTwoDifferentFactsForceSocialProcessRolesEconomyCapitalismIncreaseHistoricalBranchesProductiveLabourProgressiveManifestDiversePropositionsNational Economy Author:Vladimir Lenin
