Joel Y. Zion: Rabbi

Quotes 

• Aunt May : There's this joke about the prizefighter who enters the ring. And his brother turns to the family priest and says "Father, Pray for him." And the priest said "I will. But, if he can punch, it'll help."

  Rabbi : So what are you saying May? You're saying you're challenging the whole moral structure of everything?

  Aunt May : What moral structure? Is that the kind of nonsense you use on your pupils?

  Rabbi : Do you not find human impulses basically decent?

  Aunt May : There's basically nothing!

• Rabbi : I'll say it once again. The eyes of God see all.

• Rabbi : There is absolutely nothing that escapes His sight. He sees the righteous and He sees the wicked. And the righteous will be rewarded. But, the wicked will be punished - for eternity.

• Rabbi : What are you saying May? There's no morality anywhere in the whole world?

  Aunt May : For those who want morality, there's morality. Nothings handed down in stone.
