Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but is heard of, has always been heard of.
His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also way out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers.
He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him.
He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it.
-Mark Twain Even Mark Twain.
