Stephen Samuel Wise quotes:

That which is to be most desired in America is oneness and not sameness. Sameness is the worst thing that could happen to the people of this country. To make all people the same would lower their quality, but oneness would raise it.

"I am not an American of JEWISH faith. I am a JEW. I have been a JEW for a thousand years. Hitler was right in one thing. He calls the Jewish people a race, and we are a race."

Vision looks upward and becomes faith.

An unshared life is not living. He who shares does not lessen, but greatens, his life.

It is the Jew who lies when he swears allegiance to another faith; who becomes a danger to the world.

Vision looks inward and becomes duty.

Vision looks outward and becomes aspiration.

Vision looks inwards and becomes duty. Vision looks outwards and becomes aspiration. Vision looks upwards and becomes faith.
