...British Prime Minister. Her husband's rise to head the State may well have seemed to her, pious, devoted, the visible workings of the Higher Power.

Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole: "In Havana, the Gaceta de Policia displayed the picture of a face with notice of $2,000 reward for capture of the criminal so described. The face was mine. Next day, police officials confessed the error, denied that I was the criminal wanted." Elihu Root: "Last week, a few days after my 82nd birthday, when I had refused to be interviewed, Rumor cried I was dead. Servants, at my home, No. 998 Fifth Ave., Manhattan, told newspapermen...
...realize that your Christian Christ had a "loop in his nose," and for the same reason that I have one in mine? Your innuendo is powerless to affect the pride of a Jew in the symbol of his race...
