If a person speaks badly about others and disgraces them, he will be spoken against and disgraced in return (in addition to his punishment in the World to Come). ~ The Chofetz Chaim

Our sages teach that there is no wealth in the world that is adequate compensation for even the tiniest of mitzvot.  We’d surely be happy if we found a two-carat diamond on the sidewalk, so why not be happy with every word of prayer and every good deed, which is intrinsically much more valuable than the diamond? ~ R’ Shalom Arush Shlita

We can’t always get what we want;

We should just be happy we don’t get what we deserve!

One who does not see G-d everywhere does not see him anywhere. ~ The Kotzker Rebbe

Our bond with Hashem is our ultimate merit.  It makes no difference whether we receive or not – our primary goal is our personal connection with our Father. ~ R’ Menachem Azolai as translated by Dov Elias

Life is a bitter experience when a person doesn’t know what he or she is living for. ~ R’ Lazer Brody

Someone said to Reb Yisrael Salanter zy’a “I am set in my ways; I don’t think I’ll ever do teshuvah.”

Reb Yisrael Salanter rebuked him, “Chazal tell us that when we blow the shofar on Rosh Hashanah, the Satan gets frightened because he fears that we’ve done teshuvah and what he hears is the shofar of Moshiach.

So you see, even the Satan believes that you can do teshuvah. Why don’t you believe it?” ~ R’ Elimelech Biderman Shlita
