— from Prehistoric Man Researches into the Origin of Civilization in the Old and the New World by Wilson, Daniel, Sir
So long as you do not teach that the Good is not that which is visible to the eyes, but that which is felt within the heart, and that the prosperity of our people is not dependent upon civil emancipation, but upon the love of a man for his neighbor, … their hearts will not be possessed with zeal for God."
— from The Renascence of Hebrew Literature (1743-1885) by Nahum Slouschz
