Eternal Jew

Famous quotes containing the words eternal and/or jew:

    His virtues walked their narrow round,
    Nor made a pause, nor left a void;
    And sure the Eternal Master found
    The single talent well employed.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    America—rather, the United States—seems to me to be the Jew among the nations. It is resourceful, adaptable, maligned, envied, feared, imposed upon. It is warm-hearted, overfriendly; quick-witted, lavish, colorful; given to extravagant speech and gestures; its people are travelers and wanderers by nature, moving, shifting, restless; swarming in Fords, in ocean liners; craving entertainment; volatile. The schnuckle among the nations of the world.
    Edna Ferber (1887–1968)
