"I will insist the Hebrews have [contributed] more to
civilize men than any other nation. If I was an atheist and believed in blind
eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the
most essential instrument for civilizing the nations... They are the most
glorious nation that ever inhabited this Earth. The Romans and their empire
were but a bubble in comparison to the Jews." - John Adams
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
