Serving yourself is a form of idolatry.

“I” is a thief, which must be banished from the heart.

The way of the world is such that parents feel the pain of their children,

Where is G‑d? Wherever He is allowed in.

He who doesn’t see G‑d everywhere isn’t capable of seeing Him anywhere.

I’ve never wanted to serve a G‑d whose ways would be understandable to mere mortals.

When people ask me what not to do, I can tell them. But to know what they should do, that’s something they need to ask themselves.

A horse walks down the middle of the road. A human being, on the other hand, sticks to one extreme or the other.

True Torah greatness has nothing to do with natural ‘kishronot’, but rather with ones diligence and determination.

There is only one way to produce true Torah leaders. That is, through focusing all the powers of ones will and intellectual capacities on Torah learning.
