You cannot control what happens to you in life, but you can always control what you will feel and do about what happens to you.

Our responding to life's unfairness with sympathy... may be the surest proof of all of God's reality.

There is a Jewish notion that holiness is found with other people. To understand what life really is, one has to share it.

Life is like the baseball season, where even the best team loses at least a third of its games, and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. The goal is not to win every game but to win more than you lose, and if you do that often enough, in the end you may find you have won it all.

We tend to take on the coloration of the setting in which we find ourselves.

Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.

Everything that God created is potentially holy, and our task as humans is to find that holiness in seemingly unholy situations. When we can do this, we will have learned to nurture our souls.
