Maurice Samuel Quotes

#1. When Germany and England and America will long have lost their present identity or purpose, we shall still be strong in ours.

Maurice Samuel

#2. In the heart of any pious Jew, God is a Jew. Is your God an Englishman or an American?

Maurice Samuel

#3. You may even have Jews in your midst who did not learn their way of life from us, and did not inherit it from a Jewish forebear. We may have authentic gentiles in our midst: these single protests are of no account; they are extreme and irrelevant variations.

Maurice Samuel

#4. We Jews, we are the destroyers and will remain the destroyers. Nothing you can do will meet our demands and needs. We will forever destroy because we want a world of our own.

Maurice Samuel

Maurice Samuel

Maurice Samuel

#7. Our Jewishness is not a creed, it is ourself, our totality. Indeed, it may be fairly said that the surest evidence of your lack of seriousness in religion is the fact that your religions are not national, that you are not compromised and dedicated, en masse, to the faith.

Maurice Samuel

#8. We belong to the One mastering God: you belong to the republic of playful gods.
