I have enormous pride in the survival of the Jewish people, the cultural heritage of the Jewish people, but I'm not observant, and I don't belong to a synagogue. I don't go to temple on high holy days, but I'm proud to be Jewish. ~ Erica Jong
Jewish Pride quotes by Erica Jong
There is no difference whatever between anti-Semitism and the denial of Israel's statehood. Classical anti-Semitism denies the equal right of Jews as citizens within society. Anti-Zionism denies the equal rights of the Jewish people its lawful sovereignty within the community of nations. The common principle in the two cases is discrimination.
New York Times, 1975 ~ Abba Eban
Jewish Pride quotes by Abba Eban
Who ... what are they?"
"My pride and glory," Alex said fondly. "Betty and Lucy Coltrane. Best damned bouncers in the business. Though of course I'd never tell them that. Fiercer than pit bulls and cheaper to run. Married to each other. They had a dog once, but they ate it. ~ Simon R. Green
Jewish Pride quotes by Simon R. Green
I'm half Jewish, half Scottish. It's hard for me to buy anything. ~ David Duchovny
Jewish Pride quotes by David Duchovny
Fifteen minutes later, Justin looks at his pint of blood with pride. He doesn't want it to go to some stranger, he almost wants to bring it to the hospital himself, survey the wards and present it to someone special, for it's the first thing to come straight from his heart in a very long time. ~ Cecelia Ahern
Jewish Pride quotes by Cecelia Ahern
Their lives were precarious and they knew it. They were trying their best to fit themselves into a country which would never quite accept them, and to make themselves acceptable in a part of the world where their intrusion was resented in the vain hope that thus their establishments might endure ... The Orient remained strange and hostile. Unfamiliar diseases abounded. No one could be trusted. There was never security or peace for long. In any alley-way an assassin might be lurking, sent down from the Old Man of the Mountain. At any moment the lord might have to rise from his couch to ride out against enemy raiders. At any moment his lady might find herself in charge of the defence of her castle. At any moment the festivities might be interrupted by the sound of the infidel mangonels pounding against the walls. Life was merry, but it was short; and when the crisis came there was no lack of gallantry among the lords and ladies of Outremer. They had tasted with relish the gracious things of life; and they faced their doom with pride and resolution. ~ Steven Runciman
Jewish Pride quotes by Steven Runciman
The Jewish tradition presents itself as the greatest revelation of God's truth that can be known in the world. That is why we call ourselves 'the chosen people.' It is not that we choose ourselves. It means that we have been elected by God and given the Torah. ~ David Novak
Jewish Pride quotes by David Novak
But Hitler didn't strive for the annihilation of the Jews - he stressed that fact in public life and in the newspapers. Hitler merely said at the beginning that Jewish influence was too great, that of all the lawyers in Berlin, eighty percent were Jewish. Hitler thought that a small percentage of the people, the Jews, should not be allowed to control the theater, cinema, radio, et cetera. ~ Franz Von Papen
Jewish Pride quotes by Franz Von Papen
No realm was too petty: The Ministry of Posts ruled that henceforth when trying to spell a word over the telephone a caller could no longer say "D as in David," because "David" was a Jewish name. The caller had to use "Dora." "Samuel" became "Siegfried." And so forth. "There has been nothing in social history more implacable, more heartless and more devastating than the present policy in Germany against the Jews," Consul General Messersmith told Undersecretary Phillips in a long letter dated September 29, 1933. He wrote, "It is definitely the aim of the Government, no matter what it may say to the outside or in Germany, to eliminate the Jews from German life. ~ Erik Larson
Jewish Pride quotes by Erik Larson
And in the complicated, relished, introspective web of young lovers, or more exactly, young petters, they progress along the oldest channel in the world and the most deceptive, for they are certain it is unique to them. Even as they are calling themselves engaged, they are losing the details of their subtle involved pledging of a troth. They are moved and warmed by intimacies between them, by long husky conversations in the parlor, in inexpensive restaurants, by the murmurs, the holding of hands in the dark velvet caverns of movie houses. They forget most of the things that have advanced them into love, feel now only the effect of them. And of course their conversation alters, new themes are bruited. Shy sensitive girls may end up as poetesses or they may turn bitter and drink alone in bars, but nice shy sensitive Jewish girls usually marry and have children, gain two pounds a year, and worry more about refurbishing hats and trying a new casserole than about the meaning of life. After their engagement, Natalie talks over their prospects. ~ Norman Mailer
Jewish Pride quotes by Norman Mailer
Love means giving yourself to the person you love,being willing to sacrifice everything,even your pride ~ Elaine Barbieri
Jewish Pride quotes by Elaine Barbieri
Don't wait for God to break you. You can choose to be broken or you can wait for God to crush your pride. ~ Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Jewish Pride quotes by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
This is not a Jewish story. It's a human story. If people don't know the truth about the Holocaust, then it could happen again to anybody, anywhere, at any time to any race or any color. ~ Gloria Hollander Lyon
Jewish Pride quotes by Gloria Hollander Lyon
Why, there's the air, the sky, the morning, the evening, moonlight, my friends, women, the beautiful architecture of Paris to study, three big books to write and all sorts of other things. Anaxagoras used to say that he was in the world in order to admire the sun. And then I have the good fortune to be able to spend my days from morning to night in the company of a man of genius - myself - and it's very pleasant. ~ Victor Hugo
Jewish Pride quotes by Victor Hugo
Over the course of history, many Jews have ultimately embraced Christianity - some forcibly, some in order to advance in non-Jewish society, some out of wholehearted belief. ~ Meir Soloveichik
Jewish Pride quotes by Meir Soloveichik
Most of us think of pride as self-centeredness, conceit, boastfulness, arrogance, or haughtiness. All of these are elements of the sin, but the heart, or core, is still missing.

The central feature of pride is enmity – enmity towards God and enmity toward our fellowmen.
~ Ezra Taft Benson
Jewish Pride quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
I respect you far too much to think that empty pride is the only motivator you could call on. I think what you call pride is something much more than that. Belief in yourselves, perhaps, or perseverance in the face of adversity. Those are things to be proud of. That's not the same as being proud. ~ Jack Campbell
Jewish Pride quotes by Jack Campbell
Jeff and I signed a Jewish marriage contract, a ketubah, promising to cherish each other in the "way that Jewish men and women had cherished each other through the ages." This probably doesn't refer to King Solomon, who reportedly had 700 hundred wives and 300 concubines but much of the document was written in Hebrew so we really have no idea what we agreed to. ~ Annabelle Gurwitch
Jewish Pride quotes by Annabelle Gurwitch
Even the respectable have a small anarchist hidden on the inside. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Jewish Pride quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
The girlfriend chorus had taken up residence in her head and now said: But can't you see he doesn't want to, you've not been together for nearly a year. What are you doing? She thought: I should walk away. But I don't want to. I want to stand here with him. It's the only place in the world I want to be. The girlfriend chorus said: Where's your pride? She ~ Lena Andersson
Jewish Pride quotes by Lena Andersson
Gold is the gift of vanityand pride, Friendship and love offer flowers. ~ Franz Grillparzer
Jewish Pride quotes by Franz Grillparzer
Pride is a pratfall in waiting. ~ L.M. Aldrich
Jewish Pride quotes by L.M. Aldrich
I've got a friend who is half-Jewish and half-Italian. If he can't buy it wholesale, he steals it! ~ Jackie Mason
Jewish Pride quotes by Jackie Mason
Judging oneself to be inferior to other people was one of the worst acts of pride because it was the most destructive way of being different. ~ Paulo Coelho
Jewish Pride quotes by Paulo Coelho
Shalom Aleichem!! ~ Avner Gold
Jewish Pride quotes by Avner Gold
English does not distinguish between arrogant-up (irreverence toward the temporarily powerful) and arrogant-down (directed at the small guy). ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Jewish Pride quotes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I had no choice but to understand that people can demean and hit you and in their better moments love you, at once be a mess themselves and carry a deep pride in your strange togetherness. They suffered from weakness of character, yes-just like every other person, in every other income bracket. What really put shame on us wasn't our moral deficit. It was our money deficit. ~ Sarah Smarsh
Jewish Pride quotes by Sarah Smarsh
I'm Muslim the way many of my Jewish friends are Jewish: I avoid pork, and I take the big holidays off. ~ Aasif Mandvi
Jewish Pride quotes by Aasif Mandvi
They take pride in their schools. They begin to participate, where, when they are renters, they don't do that. So what we're doing by this program is strengthening America. ~ Alphonso Jackson
Jewish Pride quotes by Alphonso Jackson
Pride is self contending with God for preeminence. ~ Stephen Charnock
Jewish Pride quotes by Stephen Charnock
Wise men will change their minds while the foolish stubbornly cling to their pride. ~ Terron James
Jewish Pride quotes by Terron James
Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks. ~ Joe Paterno
Jewish Pride quotes by Joe Paterno
They run amuck; I let them. Pride of lions in the yard. Stare and they burn a hole in your retina. A common flower, a weed that no one sees, yes. But for us, a noble thing, the dandelion. ~ Ray Bradbury
Jewish Pride quotes by Ray Bradbury
I'm comfortable being old ... being black ... being Jewish. ~ Billy Crystal
Jewish Pride quotes by Billy Crystal
One of the great virtues, apart from the pleasure of performing these works, is that it's opened up an entirely new, expansive repertoire of American Jewish music. ~ Neville Marriner
Jewish Pride quotes by Neville Marriner
There is indeed a certain sense of gratification when we do a good deed that gives us inward satisfaction, and a generous pride that accompanies a good conscience ... These testimonies of a good conscience are pleasant; and such a natural pleasure is very beneficial to us; it is the only payment that can never fail. On Repentance ~ Michel De Montaigne
Jewish Pride quotes by Michel De Montaigne
Tis certain that Morality is an indispensable Requisite of true Religion, and there can be none without it. But it would become the Pride and Ignorance of Pagans only, to magnify it, as the Whole of what is necessary. ~ Samuel Richardson
Jewish Pride quotes by Samuel Richardson
Civil order mattered.
Zoe didn't know why Farah continued to wear the headscarf, but most Middle-Eastern women wore modest clothing to anchor themselves to a moral order, in an upside-down world.
Zoe wore the chador as a protective shell, to erase herself, to avoid thinking, to envelop herself in the complete custody of her adopted Muslim sisters. In their care she would come out healed, able to process the bigotry that caused the murder of her Jewish parents. Then, when she was whole again, she would reclaim her place in the world.
Though others couldn't see it, behind the nameless, shapeless, Middle-Eastern garb, she was healing. The chador cocooned and nurtured her. Dour exteriors meant blossoming interiors . . . to Zoe. Judaism centered her, but Islam shielded her. Both served their purpose . . . for now. ~ Michael Ben Zehabe
Jewish Pride quotes by Michael Ben Zehabe
I was one of I think three white girls in my school. So, I was very much an outsider. And plus I was Jewish and all of my friends were black and Baptist because they listen to the coolest music. We were all listening to Ray Charles and what was then called race music. ~ Janis Ian
Jewish Pride quotes by Janis Ian
I think my father knew how to be Jewish, but he didn't teach us. He must have thought we would absorb it with our mother's milk. ~ Edith Hahn Beer
Jewish Pride quotes by Edith Hahn Beer
You couldn't find a Jewish sheik? ~ Libby Fischer Hellmann
Jewish Pride quotes by Libby Fischer Hellmann
Executive Mansion,
Washington, Nov. 21, 1864.
Dear Madam,
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.
I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
A. Lincoln ~ Abraham Lincoln
Jewish Pride quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Over protective? a butler in a grade- B movie? someones jewish mother? you got it ~ Margaret Weis
Jewish Pride quotes by Margaret Weis
To quote a noted Jewish humorist, Sholom Aleichem: "First comes health. You can always hang yourself later." As ~ Bel Kaufman
Jewish Pride quotes by Bel Kaufman
There are but two future verbs which man may appropriate confidently and without pride: "I shall suffer," and "I shall die. ~ Sophie Swetchine
Jewish Pride quotes by Sophie Swetchine
People need to know why we, as the Jewish people, have a right to be here. We need to tell people what we are doing here ... My tourism guidebook is the Bible. ~ Ariel Sharon
Jewish Pride quotes by Ariel Sharon
Some find the overt anti-Semitism of Holocaust deniers the ranting of idiots who are best ignored. Others take these comments quite seriously and see a dire and existential threat to Jewish well-being. They see a Holocaust-denying president of a large country, one that is poised to have nuclear weapons, occupying the podium of a world forum that was founded in the wake of the Final Solution with a mandate to stop genocide. They hear him deny the Final Solution and threaten the existence of the Jewish state.

The Eichmann Trial, page XXVII ~ Deborah E. Lipstadt
Jewish Pride quotes by Deborah E. Lipstadt
Stress is a designer ailment that many of the so-called afflicted suffer from with pride. ~ Janet Street-Porter
Jewish Pride quotes by Janet Street-Porter
Here is an example to help you understand the efficacy of the Rosary. You remember the story of David who vanquished Goliath. What steps did the young Israelite take to overthrow the giant? He struck him in the middle of the forehead with a pebble from his sling. If we regard the Philistine as representing evil and all its powers: heresy, impurity, pride, we can consider the little stones from the sling capable of overthrowing the enemy as symbolizing the Aves of the Rosary. ~ Columba Marmion
Jewish Pride quotes by Columba Marmion
It is my PRIDE, my damned, native, unconquerable Pride, that plunges me into Distraction. You must know that 19 - 20th of my Composition is Pride. I must either live a Slave, a Servant; to have no Will of my own, no Sentiments of my own which I may freely declare as such;
or DIE
perplexing alternative! ~ Thomas Chatterton
Jewish Pride quotes by Thomas Chatterton
I just went to Hebrew school, had a bar mitzvah. No crazy weird Jewish cult. ~ Hayden Schlossberg
