If you study the Talmud you please God even more than you do by praying or fasting.

Life is much shorter than I imagined it to be.

If you feel that you are good, don't be too proud of it.

You must never tire fighting Satan.

God, for example, appealed to me as a beardless man wearing a quilted silk cap; holiness was something burning, forbidding, something connected with fire while a day had the form of an oblong box.

If a man is tongue-tied, don't laugh at him, but, rather, feel pity for him, as you would for a man with broken legs.
