A disciple came to the celebrated Master of the Good Name with a question. โRabbi, how are we to distinguish between a true master and a fake?โ And the master of the good name said, โWhen you meet a person who poses as a master, ask him a question: whether he knows how to purify your thoughts. If he says that he knows, then he is a fake.
Elie WieselIt is by his freedom that a man knows himself, by his sovereignty over his own life that a man measures himself.
Elie WieselYoung people want to learn, they are thirsty for knowledge, they want to understand and remember. The main thing is to teach them where not to go. Oppression, not to go; dictatorship, not to go; racism and prejudice, absolutely not to go. This is a moral plan [for society].
