To begin with oneself but not to end with onself. To start from oneself but not to aim at oneself.

To look away from the world, or to stare at it, does not help a man to reach God; but he who sees the world in Him stands in His presence.

The perfection of any matter, the highest or the lowest, touches on the divine.

If a person kills a tree before its time, it is like having murdered a soul.-Rabbi Nachman

I'm not sure I can take your advice. You are dealing with English Gentlemen. We are dealing with monsters.

God said to Abraham: "Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee." God says to man: "First, get you out of your country, that means the dimness you have inflicted on yourself. Then out of your birthplace, that means out of the dimness your mother inflicted on you. After that, out of the house of your father, that means out of the dimness your father inflicted on you. Only then will you be able to go to the land that I will show you"

In the story of the Creation we read: ". . . And behold, it was very good." But, in the passage where Moses reproves Israel, the verse says: "See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil." Where did the evil come from? Evil too is good. It is the lowest rung of perfect goodness. If you do good deeds, even evil will become good; but if you sin, evil will really become evil.
