Bill Clinton claimed he read in a book, which he didn’t name.<br /><br />Well…<br /><br />According to http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Insanity<br /><br />It actually first appeared in “Narcotics Anonymous” the basic text of the group with the same name. It was said maybe in 1980 and in print in 1981.<br /><br />It is also cited in a 1980 text from Alcoholics Anonymous as being said orally earlier (but, says the wikiquote article, the link on google books is to the 1992 revised edition, so maybe it didn’t appear in the original 1980version.)<br /><br />The 1992 edition says:<br /><br />When I came into the program, I heard that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results,”[1]<br /><br />Footnote 1 is Step Two: A promise of hope (anonymous pamphelet (from AA Twelve Steps), later attributed to James G. Jensen), 1980, 1992 revised edition, ISBN 0-89486106-9, published by Hazelden Foundation, p. 10<br /><br />the anonymous pamphlet was attributed to James G.

HaShem's longing to take them out of Egypt was an expression of His great love for Klal Yisrael. Every moment of the two hundred and ten year slavey HaShem was compassionately caring for Klal Yisrael and looking forward to the great relief, joy, and light of their freedom. <br /><br />Lesson: The hardship of the exile is necessary for our rectification, and not to be interpreted as a sign that HaShem has forsaken us. In fact, HaShem is constantly yearning to redeem us.<br /><br />App: Trust in HaShem that He is looking at us with love and wants nothing more than to bring the tranquility of the Messianic Era. Our trust in HaShem's love and compassion for us is the very merit that will awaken the complete redemption!<br /><br />(Based on Shemon12:42 and the commentary of Rashi and Daas Torah)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-70920616679049567982013-12-30T13:16:03.918+02:002013-12-30T13:16:03.918+02:00The jewish people are eternal.

Hashem is with you all, every moment of this trying period. in this most difficult time, there is hidden the highest of good, which is not visible yet to our eyes. and it will come soon, from Hashem to His first born. <br />when the jewish people are happy, He is happy with them. and now when they are sad, He is sad with them. when they are in exile, He is also in exile with them. which nation or people can claim this relationship with Him!. when all evil gets together, its only to bring them down.

The law and justice are what separate us from the barbarians. When we lower ourselves to their level, we are no better than animals. And people who make me feel that way make my skin crawl!<br /><br />The other part of me, I feel ashamed of what this does to my Jewish ancestors. For centuries, Jews were treated like subhumans. And now in the Jewish State, they're still treated like subhumans! Jewish blood is cheap and the message have repeatedly sent to the Arabs is that you can murder Jews and get away it! I feel nauseated that the Jewish dead do not get the respect they deserve! I would never put the memory of my blessed father to shame as the Jewish State defiles the memory of its own dead. Those who have no respect for the dead won't safeguard the lives of the living!<br /><br />I realize I am powerless to stop those who intend to aid and abet evildoers. But I will not remain silent! They too will pay the price along with the murderers to whom they give freedom; that is my consolation in the world and now only G-d can execute justice on the earth and dress the wounds of abused widows and orphans.NormanFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365459073293643108noreply@blogger.com
