When you die, others who think they know you, will concoct things about you... Better pick up a pen and write it yourself, for you know yourself best.

The more you know yourself, the more patience you have for what you see in others.

If somebody tells you that you have ears like a donkey, pay no attention. But if two people tell you so, buy yourself a saddle.

The better you know yourself, the better your relationship with the rest of the world.

You can think about manhood, you can talk about manhood or you can walk as a man should.

Remember, you must not sleep at the Seder. If you do, Elijah the Prophet will come with a bag on his shoulders. On the two first nights of Passover, Elijah the Prophet goes about looking for those who have fallen asleep at the Seder, and takes them away in his bag.
