I have heard from my father and mother all the answers that faith in God could offer to those who doubt and search for the truth. In our home and in many other homes the eternal questions were more actual than the latest news in the Yiddish newspaper. In spite of all the disenchantments and all my skepticism I believe that the nations can learn much from those Jews, their way of thinking, their way of bringing up children, their finding happiness where others see nothing but misery and humiliation.

I believe in free will. I have no choice.

All that God does is for the good.

There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy those who are weaker than he is.

What nature delivers to us is never stale. Because what nature creates has eternity in it.

From borrowing one gets poorer and from work one gets richer.

What's the good of not believing? Today it's your wife you don't believe; tomorrow it's God Himself you won't take stock in.
