More quotes by Sholem Asch

Sholem Asch
Writing comes more easily if you have something to say.
Sholem Asch
I love the place the magnificent books I require books as I require air.
Sholem Asch
Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition of our existence. If the lore of the transmigration of souls is a true one, then these, between their exchange of bodies, must pass through the sea of forgetfulness.
Sholem Asch
Now, more than any time previous in human history, we must arm ourselves with an ethical code so that each of us will be aware that he is protecting the moral merchandise absent of which life is not worth living.
Sholem Asch
The lash may force men to physical labor, it cannot force them to spiritual creativity.
Sholem Asch
Youth has the resilience to absorb disaster and weave it into the pattern of its life, no mater how anguishing the thorn that penetrates its flesh.
Sholem Asch
The best security for old age: respect your children.
Sholem Asch
The heathen spirit is wingless. It cannot lift itself to heights from which the totality of being is visible, and it therefore loses itself in details.
Sholem Asch
Humankind's ladder to God is a ladder of deeds.

Jesus Christ is the outstanding personality of our time. Every act and word of Jesus has value for us. He became the light of the world. Why shouldn't I, a Jew, be proud of that?
Sholem Asch
Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.
Sholem Asch
Jesus Christ is to me the outstanding personality of all time, all history, both as Son of God and as Son of Man. Everything he ever said or did has value for us today and that is something you can say of no other man, dead or alive. There is no easy middle ground to stroll upon. You either accept Jesus or reject him.
