Please share your favorite quotes with us
Here are some of mine
"Above all, it is not decency or goodness of gentleness that impresses the Middle East, but strength." - Rabbi Meir Kahane
"Every Baptist knows that G-D gave us His Torah at Mt. Sinai, the problem is that most Jews don't." - Rabbi Meir Kahane
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill (may the name of the evil rot)
"If we do not protect our honor, others will think it doesn't exist." - Michael Levine
"All things are mortal but the Jew - he is immortal" - Mark Twain

That last quote from Rabbi Kahane is I believe based on the idea that the whole world was created in the merit of the righteous Jewish people:

CONNECTION BETWEEN THE END AND BEGINNING OF THE TORAH
The Torah ends with the words, "Before the entire population of Israel." After reading this on Simchat Torah, we continue with Genesis, which begins "In the beginning G-d created heaven and earth."
In whose merit did G-d create the World? In the merit of Israel, who received the Torah and taught it to the world. This connects the first and last verses of the Torah. The Jewish people are responsible for morality in the world, and the world owes its existence to the Jewish people.
