“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 is incumbent upon the Aghsan, the Afnan and My kindred to turn, one and all, their faces towards the Most Mighty Branch. Consider that which We have revealed in Our Most Holy Book: 'When the ocean of My presence hath ebbed and the Book of My Revelation is ended, turn your faces toward Him Whom God hath purposed, Who hath branched from this Ancient Root.'

“Pragmatism , in trying to turn experimental physics into a prototype of all science and to model all spheres of intellectual life after the techniques of the laboratory, is the counterpart of modern industrialism, for which the factory is the prototype of human existence, and which models all branches of culture after production on the conveyor belt.” TryingHumansTurnsCultureExistenceModernIntellectualModelsProductionsTechniquePhysicsBranchesSpheresFactoriesBeltsLaboratoryHuman ExistencePragmatismCounterpartsPrototypeIntellectual Life Book:EPZ Eclipse of Reason Source: EPZ Eclipse of Reason
“Ingratitude is the frost that nips the flower even as it opens, that shrivels the generous apple on the branch, that freezes the fountain in mid-flow and numbs the hand, even in the very act of giving. It is a sin of silence, absence and omission, as winter's sin is a lack of light; a sin against charity, which otherwise warms the heart and, in the truest sense, makes the world turn.” WorldGivingHeartHandsLightTurnsSinSilenceFlowerFlowCharityWinterAbsenceGenerousApplesBranchesFountainFreezeTruestFrostIngratitudeOmission Author:Ann Wroe
