I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.
Live with the objective of being happy.
I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.
If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example.
I don't want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!
I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains....My advice is: Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you and be happy!
Is discord going to show itself while we are still fighting, is the Jew once again worth less than another? Oh, it is sad, very sad, that once more, for the umpteenth time, the old truth is confirmed: What one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews.
Everyone thinks I'm showing off when I talk, ridiculous when I'm silent, insolent when I answer, cunning when I have a good idea, lazy when I'm tired, selfish when I eat one bite more than I should.
We're not the only people that have had to suffer, there have always been people that've had to.
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside
A quiet conscience makes one strong!
As long as you're in the food business, why not make sweets?
People who give will never be poor.
I believe in the sun, even when it rains.
