Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heshel 1907-1932


"Racism is man's greatest threat to man-the maximum hatred for a minimum reason."


"Wonder rather than doubt is the root of all knowledge."


'Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy."


"When I was young I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people."


"Speech has power. Words do not fade. What starts out as a sound ends in a deed."


"The course of life is unpredictable...nobody can write his autobiography in advance."
