I conquered my hostility by putting it away until the day I might need it. Include yourself in any reproof. Just as your hand, held before the eye, can hide the tallest mountain, so this small earthly life keeps us from seeing the vast radiance that fills the core of the universe. Knowledge that is paid for will be longer remembered. Lies are usually caused by an undue fear of men.
More men die from overeating than undernourishment.
Prayers truly from the heart open all doors in Heaven. Teach a child good manners during babyhood. The best weapons of a Jew are his prayers. The I is the soul, which endures. The man who acts humble in order to win praise is guilty of the lowest form of pride.
