Worldly riches are like nuts; many a tooth is broke in cracking them, but never is the stomach filled with eating them.

While praying, listen to the words very carefully. When your heart is attentive, your entire being enters your prayer without your having to force it.

Just as your hand, held before the eye, can hide the tallest mountain, so this small earthly life keeps us from seeing the vast radiance that fills the core of the universe.

Always help those who are being persecuted.

When you help scholars, you gain a share in their learning.

It is a great mitzvah to be happy always.

Prayers truly from the heart open all doors in Heaven.
