They told him their story, and in every instance it was one of wrong suffered by an innocent person. There was one man, however, who admitted his crime and the justice of his sentence. 'I must pardon you,' said the governor; 'I can't have you in here corrupting all these good men.' --Abraham Lincoln (1809—1865) American Republican statesman, President [1861—1865]. "1864" in _Lincoln's Wit_ [New York: Ace Books, 1958]. The contagion of crime is like that of the plague.

No Japanese is permitted to go abroad. If there is anyone who attempts to do so secretly, he must be executed.

If any Japanese returns from overseas after residing there, he must be put to death. --Tokugawa Iemitsu (1604—1651) Third shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty who reigned from 1623 to 1651. Edicts 1, 2, and 3 [1635]. - How courteous is the Japanese; He always says, "Excuse it, please." He climbs into his neighbor's garden, And smiles, and says, "I beg your pardon"; He bows and grins a friendly grin, And calls his hungry family in; He grins, and bows a friendly bow; "So sorry, this my garden now." --Ogden Nash (1902—1971) American writer of humorous poetry. "The Japanese" [1938] - When my brother, Secretary at the Ministry of Ceremonial, was a young boy learning the Chinese classics, I was in the habit of listening with him and I became unusually proficient at understanding those passages that he found too difficult to grasp and memorize. Father, a most learned man, was always regretting that fact: 'Just my luck!' he would say. 'What a pity she was not born a man!' But then I gradually realized that people were saying 'It's bad enough when a man flaunts his Chinese learning; she will come to no good ... ' Her Majesty asked me to read with her here and there from the Collected Works of Po Chu-i, and, because she evinced a desire to know more about such things, to keep it secret we carefully chose times when the other women would not be present, and, from the summer before last, I started giving her informal lessons on the two volumes of 'New Ballads'. I hid this fact from others, as did Her Majesty. --Murasaki Shikibu (974—1031) Japanese novelist and poet. _The Diary of Lady Murasaki_ (1996 trans.) pp. 57-8, quoted in M.J. Cohan and John Major (eds.) _History in Quotations_ [2004].

He who ascends to mountain tops, shall find, The loftiest peaks most wrapt in clouds and snow; He who surpasses or subdues mankind, Must look down on the hate of those below. --Lord Byron [George Gordon Byron] (1788—1824) English Romantic poet and satirist. _Childe Harold's Pilgrimage_, Canto III [1816], Stanza 45 Unjust criticism is often a disguised compliment. It often means that you have aroused jealousy and envy. Remember that no one ever kicks a dead dog. --Dale Carnegie (1888—1955) American writer and lecturer. _How to Stop Worrying and Start Living_ [1948] Love may exist without jealousy, although this is rare: but jealousy may exist without love, and this is common; for jealousy can feed on that which is bitter no less than on that which is sweet, and is sustained by pride as often as by affection. --C.C.

Though jealousy be produced by love, as ashes are by fire, yet jealousy extinguishes love as ashes smother the flame. --Marguerite d'Angoulême (1492—1549) French writer, Queen of Navarre. _The Hyptameron_ [1558] Jealousy is not a barometer by which depth of love can be read. It merely records the degree of the lover's insecurity. --Margaret Mead (1901—1978) American anthropologist. "Jealousy: Primitive and Civilised" If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are. --Baron de Montesquieu (Charles Louis de Secondat) (1689—1755) French philosopher, jurist, and satirist.

Writing to Baron Rothschild [2 November 1917]. Palermo is the chief town of Sicily, and contains about 850 Jewish families, all living in one street, which is situated in the best part of the town. They are artisans, such as copper-smiths and iron-smiths, porters and peasants, and are despised by the Christians because they wear tattered garments. As a mark of distinction they are obliged to wear a piece of red cloth, about the size of a gold coin, fastened on the breast. The royal tax falls heavily on them, for they are obliged to work for the king at any employment that is given them; they have to draw ships to the shore, to construct dykes and so on. They are also employed in administering corporal punishment and in carrying out the sentence of death. --Obadiah of Bertinoro (c.I450—c.1516) Italian rabbi. _Letters_ [1487-90] I'll never forget something that my father told me: When he was a teenager in Europe, all the walls were covered with graffiti that said, 'Jews, Go to Palestine.' And when he went back to Europe as an adult, all the walls were covered with graffiti that said, 'Jews, Get Out of Palestine.' And my father understood this message perfectly, the emotional meaning of this message, which was: Get out of here and get out of there. Just don't come to us. Don't be here and don't be there. In other words, don't be. We may not kill you — that's dirty, we're not like that, but you will not be. You will die. --Amos Oz (b. 1939) Israeli writer and journalist. Interview with Ari Shavit, Haaretz.com [28 February 2002]. Why have the Jews, always among the weakest and smallest of peoples, attracted the hatred of the most evil people? Because of what the Jews represented. The civility of the Jews' lives and the values the Jews brought into the world — especially ethical monotheism, i.e., a standard of right and wrong based on a moral and judging God — made them loathsome in the eyes of those who led particularly uncivil lives and who celebrated moral chaos and cruelty. --Dennis Prager (b. 1948) American talk-show host. "So, we're hated" [22 June 2004] Shylock: I am a Jew. Hath now a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooked by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? --William Shakespeare (1564—1616) English dramatist. _The Merchant of Venice_, III, i [1596-1598] If the Hebrew people had left us nothing but the memory of their struggle, they would have left us rich. The knowledge that once in human history the whole genius of a people was spent in search after God is enough to prove that mankind is not wholly base. If they had not given their conceptions glorious form and expression; if their poets and prophets had not hymned the sweetest music, yet the conception of what life is and what it really means, the system of values which they have bequeathed to us, would still leave them the leaders of the race. It is true there was change and progress in the course of their religious development, and this makes that history the more glorious. Not to them any more than to us did the oracles of God speak to unwilling hearts and minds. The search after God was a noble and difficult quest not because He would escape them, but because only as they developed by struggle were they able to perceive Him or understand His voice. The Hebrew history is a part of the final civilization of the world. To the men of vision the world has always owed its debt. More than the marvels of Greece or the more hoary antiquities of Egypt, more than the accuracies of modern science or the inventions of modern industry, are these messages out of the Hebrew centuries to every man and woman who wishes to think truly and to live nobly. --Samuel G. Smith _Religion in the Making_ [1910] If we were permitted to reason consistently in religious matters, it is clear that we all ought to become Jews, because Jesus Christ our Savior as born a Jew, lived a Jew, died a Jew, and he said expressly that He was fulfilling the Jewish religion. --Voltaire (François Marie Arouet) (1694—1778) French writer and philosopher. "Tolerance," in _The Philosophical Dictionary_ [1764]. -- A rabbi walks into a bar with a frog on his shoulder. The bartender says, "Good heavens, where did you get that?" The frog says, "In Brooklyn. There's hundreds of them." -- Two Jewish friends bumped into each other in their Brooklyn neighborhood. "Just the man I wanted to see!" said one. "Have I got a deal for you!" "What is it?" said the second. "Get a load of this: for ten thousand dollars, I can get you a full-grown African elephant!" "A what!? An elephant!? Don't waste my time with your jokes!" "No joke! I've got connections, and I can have it delivered right to you." "That's ridiculous! What does anyone need with an elephant? Goodbye!" "So as not to be a hardship for you, for you I'll knock off fifteen hundred. What do you say?" "What do I say? What do I say?! I say you're _meshuginah!_ I don't need an elephant; what do I care how much it costs? Now if you'll excuse me—" "I can see you need some time to think about this, but you'd better not delay too long. I can keep an elephant in inventory only so long, you know. So how about seven thousand? And immediate delivery." "Are you deaf today or something? Elephants eat trees — do you see any trees here? No! Elephants need lots of space — do you see any space here? No! Now listen to me once more before I call the men with the butterfly nets: _I_ _do_ _not_ _want_ _an_ _elephant!_" "Okay, okay, watch your blood pressure. Here's my final offer: Five thousand seven hundred fifty dollars, and I'll make it _two_ elephants!" "_Now_ you're talking!" -- One day, a 10-year-old boy was sitting on the curb in New York City. He was fingering his rosary beads, and appeared deep in thought as a rabbi walked past. The rabbi stopped, and after a short study of the boy, said, "My, you are indeed a very pious young fellow. Do you plan on becoming a priest some day?" The young boy replied, "Well, yes, I suppose that is a career option I could choose." "Ah, so," said the rabbi. "I good career it is. And after priest, what could you become?" "Well," replied the boy, "I suppose I could become a bishop some day." "Ah, yes indeed, a bishop. Very good. And after that?" "Oh, I suppose there's a possibility of becoming a cardinal." "Ah, yes, a cardinal is very good. And then?" "Well," said the boy slowly, "I suppose I could become Pope some day." "Yes, yes, that is excellent. Pope. And then what?" "Well, there is nothing after that," replied the boy. "What?" asked the rabbi. "You can't become God? One of our boys made it." -- An aging school teacher on the plains of Kansas was sick and tired of the separation of church and state rules that had permeated public schools and since she was nearing retirement decided to start teaching Christian values in her sixth grade class again. The kids didn't seem particularly interested, so she decided to sweeten the pie in the old Yankee fashion. She advised her class that she would pay $25 to the first student who could name the greatest man who ever lived. The only kid who raised his hand was Izzie, the token Jewish kid, so she called on Stanley instead knowing he was a regular in her Bible study class at the local church. "Alexander the Great!" gushed Stanley, "because he conquered the known world!" Disappointed she called on John, the most studious of her scholars as Izzie began to wave his hand. "William Shakespeare", said John assuredly. Miss Frimple uttered a sigh resignation as she called on Barbara Anne another stellar student at her Sunday school class as Izzie waved his hand wildly, "Joan of Arc! Because she ended the 100 Years War!" And so it went until Miss Frimple was down to the last student who was still waving his hand furiously. "Izzie, who do you think was the greatest man who ever lived?" "Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour," said Izzie without skipping a beat. Miss Frimple dutifully doled out the $25 dollars to Izzie saying, "Well, Izzie, I'm quite surprised that you of all my students would get the right answer!" Pocketing the money ruefully, Izzy retorted, "Personally, I think it was Moses, but, business is business." ;void(0)) JOBS . . see: "WORK" for related links A professional is a man who can do his job when he doesn't feel like it; an amateur is one who can't when he does feel like it. --James Agate (1877—1947) British drama critic and novelist.
