What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't even happened yet.

God has never deserted our people. Through the ages Jews have had to suffer, but through the ages they've gone on living, and the centuries of suffering have only made them stronger.

Sometimes I think God is trying to test me, both now and in the future. I'll have to become a good person on my own, without anyone to serve as a model or advise me, but it'll make me stronger in the end.

Sometimes I'm so deeply buried under self-reproaches that I long for a word of comfort to help me dig myself out again.

We aren't allowed to have any opinions. People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but it doesn't stop you having your own opinion. Even if people are still very young, they shouldn't be prevented from saying what they think.

I wish to go on living even after my death.

No one ever became poor from giving.
