The mere foretelling of future events is the lowest stage of prophecy, and in the eyes of the great prophets of Israel it was of quite secondary importance. Their aim was to fathom the secrets of holiness; and their striving, by means of admonition and moral suasion, to guide the peoples in paths which lead mankind to spiritual and political well being. Shemtov Ibn Shemtov, 1480.

Every country has the Jews it deserves. K. E. Franzos, 1875
To base the appeal for justice to present-day Jewry upon the cultural services of ancient Israel would be treason to the inalienable rights of man. A people may for a time be robbed of these rights,but- whatever the alleged political reason for such a crime- it cannot be legally or equitably deprived of them. M. Steinschneider, 1893
Moritz Steinschneider, born 30 March 1816 in Prostějov, Moravia, Austrian Empire. In 1848 became a Prussian citizen. A very accomplished and influential scholar in many fields regarding Judaism, he was especially concerned with Medieval history and culture as it impacted Judaism.
In a free state, it is not the Christian that rules the Jew, neither is it the Jew who rules the Christian; it is justice that rules. Leopold Zunz, 1859.
