A husband looking through the paper came upon a study that said women
use more words than men. Excited to prove to his wife his long-held
contention that women in general and his wife in particular, talked too
much, he showed her the study results, which stated: "Men use about
15,000 words per day, but women use 30,000." His wife thought awhile,
and then finally she said to her husband, "That's because we have to
repeat everything we say." The husband said, "What?" |

"All the great conceptual discoveries of the intellect seem
obvious and inescapable once they have been revealed, but it
requires a special genius to formulate them for the first
time. The Jew has this gift. To them we owe the idea of
equality before the law, both divine and human; of the
sanctity of life and the dignity of the human person; of the
individual conscience and so of personal redemption; of the
collective conscience and so of social responsibility; of
peace as an abstract ideal and love as the foundation of
justice, and many other items which constitute the basic
moral furniture of the human mind. Without the Jews, it
might have been a much emptier place."
