This life has been given to you for repentance; do not waste it in vain pursuits.

This life has been given to you for repentance; do not waste it in vain pursuits.

Someone who has actually tasted truth is not contentious for truth. Someone who is considered by people to be zealous for truth has not yet learned what truth is really like; once he has truly learned it, he will cease from zealousness on its behalf.

Someone who bears a grudge while he prays is like a person who sows in the sea and expects to reap a harvest.

If you cannot close the mouth of one who reviles his brother, at least avoid conversation with him.

The Commandments of God are higher than all the treasures of the earth. Whoever has acquired them has received God within himself.

Whoever prematurely begins a work that is above his strength receives nothing, but only brings harm upon himself.
