Let me tell you the following words as if I were showing you the rungs of a ladder leading upward and upward: Herzl; the Zionist Congress; the English Uganda proposition; the future world war; the peace conference where with the help of England a free and Jewish Palestine will be created. — Max Nordau

True love is no game of the faint-hearted and the weak; it is born of strength and understanding. — Meher Baba
