There is no doubt that the Jew ... has to be twice as good as the average non- Jew to succeed in many a field of endeavor.

The brave individual accepts them and by accepting conquers them.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“You are the brave who do not break
In the grip of the mob when the blow comes straight
To the shattered bone;”
