A Quote by Thomas Friedman

I've always enjoyed the communal side of Jewish life. — © Thomas Friedman
I've always enjoyed the communal side of Jewish life.
For I firmly believe that Jewish life, indeed any communal life, can only be organized according to democratic principles.
I didn't want to be on the losing side. I was fed up with Jewish weakness, timidity and fear. I didn't want any more Jewish sentimentality and Jewish suffering. I was sickened by our sad songs.
The Jewish nation dares to display an irreconcilable hatred toward all nations, and revolts against all masters; always superstitious, always greedy for the well-being enjoyed by others, always barbarous - cringing in misfortune and insolent in prosperity.
On my mom's side, the Jewish side of the family, I come from a family of musicians who are pianists, so I've always loved cultural expression.
I grew very skeptical of certain kind of Jewish separatism in my youth. I mean, I saw the Jewish community was always with each other; they didn't trust anybody outside. You'd bring someone home, and the first question was, 'Are they Jewish, are they not Jewish?'
My father has always enjoyed games... always with a combination of the fun and social side of it, but also always highly competitive.
The greatest Jewish tradition is to laugh. The cornerstone of Jewish survival has always been to find humor in life and in ourselves.
I've left this life with no rancour, I'll never have toothache again, Now I lie in the communal grave, the communal grave of time.
I've always enjoyed the physical side of acting.
Whenever I'm around my guy friends, I'm always playing video games. I've always enjoyed the graphics side of them, how they look.
When you're chewing on life's gristle Don't grumble, give a whistle And this'll help things turn out for the best... And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life.
I've always enjoyed the coaching side, working with young players, trying to improve them and to make them not only see football different but to see life differently.
When I was kid, yeah, my family, my parents wanted me to marry a Jewish girl because that was what they taught their children, and thought it would be an easier life for me to raise a Jewish kid. And I have a Jewish wife, I have a Jewish kid. They seem pretty happy about it.
On my mother's side I'm Polish-Jewish, and on my father's side I'm Scottish puffin.
Majorities are of two sorts: (1) communal majority and (2) political majority. A political majority is changeable in its class composition. A political majority grows. A communal majority is born. The admission to a political majority is open. The door to a communal majority is closed. The politics of political majority are free to all to make and unmake. The politics of communal majority are made by its own members born in it.
My mother's side is Italian; my father's side is Jewish. We're the kind of family where every Sunday night we have dinner with all 19 of my cousins.
